• "A man with the world at his fingertips" (The Star, Johannesburg, November 1988)
• "Reddy is a unique figure in the South African music scene, hard to categorize but just as difficult to ignore." (Sunday Times, Juli 1994)
• "Reddy makes music magic. ... A tight framework couched the ebb and flow of energy which turned in expression from jazz to classical and back again. Exhilirating stuff." (Pretoria News, October 1989)
• "What's this? A pianist in jeans with a ponytail? A maestro of Bach concertos who thinks Tina Turner is just like Wagner? A virtuoso on the clavichord who plays rock gigs with P.J. Powers?" (Cosmopolitan, July 1990)
• "The beauty of Reddy’s music is that it crosses boundaries at the speed of light." (Saturday Star, 24.8.1996)
• "Jazz in its nature is a fusion of disparate elements. Some jazz musicians freeze the fusing process by restricting themselves to the confines of a particular idiom. Others celebrate it by pushing boundaries. Channel 18, shaped by vitality, superb technique and the genius of Reddy, belong in the latter category." (Pretoria News, 9.6.1992)
• "If ever there was a musical non-conformist, it is this brilliant pianist!" (The Star, Johannesburg, April 1990)
• "This virtuoso pianist from the African continent is a celebrated superstar. He is compared to other world renowned jazz pianists such as Keith Jarrett." (Kölner Stadtanzeiger, 28.5.1998)
• "A leading light on the African Music Scene" (The Namibian, 4.9.1992)
• "The soloist in the Ravel 'Concerto for the Left Hand', Surendran Reddy, played superbly. The jazzy passages were rendered with perfect style, no exaggeration and a ready appreciation of the taste with which Ravel not only limited his approach to vulgarity but also transformed it into something exquisite." (Daily News - Tonight, Durban, 1.8.1989)
