"Like a China Doll in her chiselled looks with a waist one can encircle with the two hands, Reela has also the assurance coming out of excellent dance technique....." "One must commend the dancer for her rhythmic grasp"

"Reela's movements have a sensuous grace and with the etched chowka and tribhanga the pallavi brought out the Odissi profile in full beauty"

"Reela's abhinaya has a subdued and internalized approach"

Leela Venkataraman
The Hindu

"Reela showed her class in finely etched 'brahmaris', precise 'hastas' and sensitive 'mukhabhinaya' ".Her movements have a sensuous grace and her abhinaya has a subdued and internalized approach. Her flawless nritta, precisely profiled tribhangi and chowka was a delight to watch in all the numbers.

Shanta Sarbjeet Singh

Reela is an extremely talented student with a remarkable presence on stage. A promising artist among the younger generation of Odissi dancers.
