TimeOut New York magazine reviews Cyana's performance in Petite Rouge: "In a cast of six, however, it was easy to detect the standouts. Cyana Cook, who doubles as an animal trio member and the cranky grandmother, was outstanding. During group numbers it was hard to tear one's attention away from her lively gestures and delivery."
