In this reply we show that the criticisms raised by J. Noronha are based on a misapplication of the model we have proposed in [A. Jaouadi, M. Telmini, E. Charron, Phys. Rev. A 83, 023616 (2011)]. Here we explicitly discuss the range of validity of the approximations underlying our analytical model. We also show that the discrepancies pointed out for very small atom numbers and for very anisotropic traps are not surprising since these conditions exceed the range of validity of the model.
