The Statesman — "The best and most versatile Veena artiste we have today."

The Hindu — "Fascinatingly profound ...clearly brought out the intricacies and radiance of Veena music".

Statesman — " A concert with character, exquisitely refined, undeviatingly traditional and of unflagging interest and pleasure".

Subbudu — " Her recital outshone in many aspects...One felt as though one was listening to a philharmonic orchestra".

Indian Express — " Packed with short phrases and occasionally long passages of a perfect amalgam to exquisite gamakas, and exceptional conception, replete with bhava and manodharma."

Indian Express — "... Haunting music...".

The Hindu — "...Jayanthi's fertile imagination and raga elaboration stands out for clarity..."

Indian Express — ".... For Jayanthi, it seems like everything musical fuses into a mesh of polished veena art..."

Mahathi on her Ravindra Bharathi concert — "You name the best in music, it was there in right proportion – the choice of kritis, stately and dignified rendering, kalapramanam, punctilious, refined gamakas, sahityabhava etc. Above all, it was a downpour of appealing and moving ragas, one after the other. At a time when Veena players, as a tribe, are vanishing, it is a moment of great gratification that young Jayanthi is filling up the gap."

Trinity mirror — "The alap was soaked in honeyed softness and as she was on the instrument, it looked as though she was actually singing."

Statesman — " Impeccable performance..."

Hindustan times — "It was a continuous satiating feast of impregnated classical music..."

Deccan chronicle — ".... Veena duet without gimmicks..."

R.V. — "Laced with charm and tempo..."

Subbudu on one of her 1993 season concerts — ".....unlike many instrumentalists who do not master the vocal aspect of great compositions, Jayanthi seems to have learnt this also as was evident from the illusion that she created in the audience of hearing the lyrics also... I hear Jayanthi is from Lalgudi hierarchy. That explains everything."

K.S.Mahadevan on her Narada Gana Sabha concert — "The gifted young Vainika (Jayanthi) evoked an aura of traditional serenity... Originality and obedience to the canons of taste distinguish her playing from the others'. To her, a slip-shod second best is anathema...Divinity must indeed be at the bottom of such gifted, impeccable playing with such depth and creativity."

SVK in The Hindu Jan 95 — "Jayanthi's kalyani lent distinction to the Carnatic gamaka school of Veena display and thereby invited rapt attention from the listeners. It was heritage music in as much as she helped the listeners get in touch with the sensitive sentiments of nada emanating from her Veena"

News Today — "Rare mastery ...moving melodies ...melodic subtlety"
