“Stereo Genmai is one of those rare instances where visuals and content balance each other out beautifully.” – Nana

“It’s surreal and engaging, especially if you’re a creator of things.” – Zim Ahmadi

“Definisi sebenar mindfuck ada pada Stereo Genmai teater.” – Saat Omar

“Superb!” – admin Twit Teater

“Maksud ilham dan ‘creative block’ diserlahkan melalui dunia yang aneh dan menarik pada setiap adegan.” – Daily Seni

“RS ialah rockstar sai-fai jadi segala kata puji tentang teater/produksi ini adalah repetitive, tidak perlu.” – Bart Ahmad

“Ia bahkan bukan lagi tentang sebuah cerita; lebih daripada sekadar menonton lakon di pentas malap.” – Hafiz Hamzah

“Stereo Genmai is a play about a man’s deep psychological attempt at wrestling with his ideas.” – Thaqif H

“Punya banyak hal-hal kecil yang kita terlepas pandang masa membaca, dan untuk teater-yang-diadaptasikan akan lebih banyak kita tangkap punchline yang secara tak literal boleh dikaitkan secara menyeluruh untuk dunia real.” – Kandar Razak

“Mengusik minda.” – Nik Jasmin Hew

“Sama-sama diperangkap di dalam alam ilham seorang pengarang. Dengan tindak rebel watak ciptaannya, chick lit fantasi anak gadis dan guru yang mengibu. Dengan pekat kemimpian, hubungan pengarang-karya yang diregang dari dasar Freudian, naik ke teologi.” – Azrin Fauzi

“Sebuah orgi prosa sinema puisi bunyi falsafah ruang mimpi-idea cahaya agama.” – Muhammad Fariq

Barangkali dari dasar itu werk adaptasi ini menjadi lebih segar – deras dengan nafas puitis lagi sinematik. – Azrin Fauzi via review di ArtsEquator: ‘Teater Normcore: Stereo Genmai’ dan Pengkarya yang Bertengkar dengan Idea

“It is more like watching a live art – a moving and visual presentation of his words.” – Joyah Rivers via review di the Daily Seni: How Stereo Genmai Challenged My Comfort Zone in Theatre
