Critical reception and recognition
"Tornerò" song was one of the favourites to win the Eurovision Song Contest by both fans and Billboard's Fred Bronson,[10] and ascended on betting odds.[11] An editor of Antena 1 called the track a "phenomeon",[12] while an editor of Libertatea wrote that "Tornerò" remains "the best-known song by a Romanian artist at Eurovision".[13] An author of Tribune Business News considered it "probably has one of the most haunting refrains among all the Romanian [Eurovision entries]".[14] Including the single at number four in their list of "Eurovision [2006]: Top 10 Tips", BBC praised Trăistariu's vocals as "soaring", as well as the song as "the most contemporary offering [in the contest]". The website further wrote: "Something about this makes it hard to forget – a very high scorer."[3] Ioana Matfeev of Top Românesc slightly criticised Trăistariu's diction in the song.[15] In a 2016 poll on Wiwibloggs called "What is your favourite Eurovision song from Romania?", it finished in fourth place with over 500 votes.[16] According to Giannis Argyriou of EuroVisionary, "Tornerò" remained popular among Eurovision viewers,[17] while fans of the song include Romanian singer Alexa and Romanian music critic Liviu Zamora; the latter praised Trăistariu's emotional delivery.[18][19]
