"Enamorada" received mostly positive reviews from music critics, some of whom highlighted the track as an album stand-out and commended the lyrical and vocal delivery. The song has ended up becoming an anthem for the LGBT community; Uruguayan writer Charli Farinha Toni alluded to "Enamorada" as a "gay anthem" in her novel Desafíos en los Caminos. [2] According to El Siglo de Torreón , the song is one of the 10 hits that has defined Rubio's musical career. [3]

In January 2002 an English version was released for US rhythmic radio only, titled "I'm So In Love" to promote the compilation album I'm So in Love: Grandes Éxitos (2002). [4]

Music video

A music video for "Enamorada" was directed by Fernando de Garay, which showed a homosexual couple and the rainbow flag openly on television. A theme that was still considered a taboo at that time. [5] Over time, critics and journalists praised Rubio as one of the first Latin artists to open up to the LGBT community. The staff of the Spanish women's magazine MujerdeElite wrote "[Rubio] was one of the first singers in the 1990s to incorporate gay images in her music videos" referring to the music video for "Enamorada", where she shows a homosexual couple. The publication quoted, "Since then, she has been the diva of choice for her upbeat, infectious music, full of eroticism and sexuality." [6]
