The Libertatea newspaper gave the single "I Like (The Trumpet)" a favorable review, claiming that the song brings up "a fresh sound and a very interesting beat".[3] The same source nominated the composition among the "hits of the summer of 2010".[3] Romanian magazine "Salut" shared the same opinion, stating the following: "Raluka has an amazing voice and manages to impose a slight change in style to the song".[21] Other sites observed "an original sound compared to domestic club productions" and stated that I Like (The Trumpet) manages to establish itself from the first listen as a different creation in style, which, however, preserves the same popular nightclub house genre".[22] Following the performance of the song from the Romanian morning reality show "Neața with Răzvan and Dani", the national online press remarked that "Raluka sang live 100% and proved once again that she is a very talented artist, full of energy and optimism".[23] Music videoSince the release of the song, in the virtual environment, the song "I Like (The Trumpet)" has enjoyed success.[24] A few weeks after its publication, the song had obtained over half a million cumulative views on YouTube.[25] As a result of the success achieved, DJ Sava and Raluka decided to shoot a video for the song, which was to be produced in Ukraine.[26] Contrary to the statements, the two artists filmed in Salina Turda in early June 2010.[27] Directed by Dragoș Buliga, the video was officially launched on June 16 via the Libertatea website and has a predominantly military theme.[28][29] Track listing
