Parfenova et al. state in [Phys. Rev. C 98, 034608 (2018)] that the results presented by Casal et al. [Phys. Rev. C 94, 054622 (2016)] concerning the radiative capture for ${}^{17}\mathrm{Ne}$ formation are incorrect and their conclusions erroneous mainly because of two reasons: (1) it is “expressed” that the resonant rate is not important for ${}^{15}\mathrm{O}(2p,\gamma ){}^{17}\mathrm{Ne}$ since it is negligibly small compared with the nonresonant contribution to the rate, and (2) the electromagnetic dipole cross section predicted is dramatically different from the available experimental data for ${}^{17}\mathrm{Ne}+{}^{208}\mathrm{Pb}$ at 500 MeV/u [Phys. Lett. B 759, 200 (2016)]. We demonstrate here that these conclusions are incorrectly extracted from our work.
