Music video


The music video was released on July 18, 2017, on YouTube through Vevo. It features Colombian TV host Jessica Cediel. The video shows Santos interrogating a woman (Cediel) because she is not who he thinks she is, and wants her to prove that she is the same person he used to know. The video also shows scenes of Santos and Cediel making love in his bedroom and the bathroom.[1]


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."[2] 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."[3] 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'"[4]
