Hans Aanrud, September 27 1890, Verden Gang [Christiania]:
"All had the feeling that here, something of significance was happening, and that in more than one way, but as natural and correct was, the delight gathered around Miss Juell - the happy child - her mother's daughter. It was as if she was surrounded by a spirit, a spirit whose work she is to continue and - who knows - perfectionate. But then a work was continued, that has rested since her mother's passing, rested like her costume, which was tonight brought forth to be used again for the first time by her daughter. The moving tribute went to the passed one, the present one and the coming one, and because of it, it also has a force that is rare at Christiania Theatre."
Writer and date unknown, Christiania Intelligenssedlene [Christiania]:
"Miss. Juell is best where the role is at its most difficult. [...] Her acting has the immediacy of life itself."
Writer and date unknown, Morgenbladet [Christiania]:
"The great and determining plus with Miss Juell's Nora is that she all the way through gives it with the truth, freshness and immediacy of experience [...] Supported by her lively face's vividly changing expressions she gives Nora pain from the first horror, into the premises of a confused mind and suicide thoughts, increasing in natural increments, and namely at some points with heart-breaking effect."
