Critical reception
Leila Cobo of Billboard wrote: "'Imitadora' is vintage Romeo in its sensual/sexual intricate lyrics, its storytelling and sense of drama wrapped with a great chorus." They regarded the song as "a man's desperate plea to the woman who once loved him and who now has changed beyond recognition." Shirley Gomez of Latin Times called the song "a bachata in Santos' unique style, a fusion of rhythms that makes the singer-songwriter's signature bachata sound." Isabelia Herrera de Remezcla wrote that the song is "a strong comeback for Romeo, a more potent follow-up to the jazzy bachata serenade 'Héroe Favorito'"
