Return vs Response in NestJs

I noticed that if i want to return something from an API using NESTJs, i can use return statement or to use response like that:

@Controller('dashboard')
export class DashboardController {
  @Get()
  findAll(
    @Res() response: Response,
  ): any {
    response.send({
      result: JSON.stringify(['data'])
    });
  }
}

OR

@Controller('dashboard')
export class DashboardController {
  @Get()
  findAll(
  ): any {
    return JSON.stringify(['data']);
  }
}

In one case i used response.send() and in the second return statement.
Question: What is the difference between these 2 methods?
