She became the first Indonesian to earn a Doctor of Musical Arts degree in piano. Yeo was a grantee of the John D. Rockefeller 3rd Fund/Asian Cultural Council and Helena Rubinstein Foundation for many years.
The New York Times hailed her as "both polished technician and responsive musician" and praised her "elegantly detailed...immaculate, musically direct interpretation" following her Carnegie Hall debut. Other critics have called her as a "fantastic pianist!" because she 'handled the virtuoso complexity with a magnificent beauty and deep sensitivity'. The Jakarta Post said "To describe Kuei Pin Yeo's technique as amazing is putting it rather mildly".
