If it's a math paper and the reviewer is suggesting it may find application in physics that's a somewhat positive statement. | |

From all the answers I think what the reviewer meant was second point of Allure's answer. The calculations were straightforward, but we got interesting and relevant result | |

It is possible that they do not mean what they wrote literally, and this sentence has to be judged in context with the rest of the review: is it positive? What did they recommend? | |

In your case, given the reviewer said '... useful to ...' it may be positive unless the journal is not concerned with 'anisotropic crystals' -- then it is a negative. In general, the reviewer is not impressed. | |
