"Sujata Mohapatra’ s ‘Varsha’ again choreographed by Ratikant, marked the highpoint of the show, the ecstasy of her Odissi in a class of its own, capturing the images of nature during the monsoons with the peacock, the snake, the deer, the elephant, the cuckoo and with leaf-laden creepers leaning their weight on trees. But what brings bloom can also spell gloom in a tsunami-type disaster, depicted with contained intensity by Sujata.

"Sujata Mohapatra gave an outstanding Odissi performance at the Music Academy"
- Chennai Chronicle, January 2009

"It was Sujata who stole the limelight that evening. Perfectly tuned to the lyrical nad rhythmic music and movements, Sujata showed that her body language coupled with the sculpture's poses and an intricate footwork were meant for effectively communication Kelucharan's poetic dance vocabulary. In her abhinaya number...Sujata demonstrated her ability to transform herself quietly from one bhava to another within a second.

"Sujata seemed made for the composition. Her dance in trance was magical and mesmerising. The way she transforms into a mood or a character and then takes a smooth transition into the other is the hallmark of this star dancer. And eloquent Sujata executed it with ease"
- The Hindu, January 2007

"Sujata, one of the best Odissi dancers of the present generation, fascinated the audience with sheer energy and grace on the first day of 'Nritya Sangam', a dance festival organized by Sangeet Natak Academy, New Delhi, in association with South Central Zone Cultural Center...Her mastery of emotion, her control of movement and her potrayal of the leela of Shrikrishna as darling of the whole Gokul made Sujata the audience's darling"
- The Hitavda, Nagpur, September 2006

"Sujata's footwork is excellent, hastaks rhythmic and face full of devotion and varied expressions. Though of intellectual leanings, she is able to delve tenderly into the river of relationships. Feelings and emotions are rationalised as they pass through the filter of her constant dance practice and life experience"

"Day three of the Sawai Gandharva Music Festival had some of the best moments so far...Sujata Mohapatra's abhinaya stood out."
- Maharashtra Herald, Dec 2005

"At the Stein auditorium under Habitat's HCL Concert Series, was Sujata Mohapatra's Odissi recital, epitomising in every detail the dance as visualised by her father-in-law/guru, the late Kelucharan Mohapatra. With talents honed for 18 years under the guru, the immaculate dance contours of Sujata's Odissi, particularly the measured perfection and grace of the torso isolations, the hallmark of the guru's style, are well known. But it is in the intense nature of her interpretative dance that one sees Sujata's growth in the last three to four years....As for Ardhanariswara, after Sanjukta Panigrahi for whom the item was composed in 1977 with music by Raghunath Panigrahi, rarely has this critic seen the complementing Siva/Parvati contrasts captured with such grace and power."
