„ A drágakövek neveit címként viselõ, absztrakt programdarabok harmóniailag különösen érzékeny szerzõt mutatnak, akinek szimmetrikus szerkezetû hangzatai kôkemény disszonanciáikkal együtt méltán tarthatnak igényt a hallgatóság elismerésére.”
/ Németh G. István kritikus a Kőfantáziák c. művéről /
„A Tündérmenet varázsos hangulatú mesevilágát Dragony Tímea nagy szakmai biztonsággal építi föl. Gyönyörű, gomolygó harmóniák teljesednek ki az énekkarból kiváló két szólista szépen vezetett dallamáig, majd süllyednek vissza a kórus képviselte éjbe.” /Eisenbacher Zoltán a Tündérmenet c. vegyeskari művéről/
