Lovinescu welcomed its imprecision, which parted with the staples of historical drama while preserving "the national atmosphere"; the result being "a hajduk legend" admitting "poetry and idealism." Călinescu sees "Chemarea" as Diamandy's "only reasonably valid play", but "false" in content and "embarrassing" with its depiction of sexual controversy. Localized in medieval Rădeana, it alludes to the rape of Anca, a virtuous young woman, by marauding Tatars. Although dishonored under the shame culture of that period, she is defended by the young nobleman, Ioniță, who elopes with her into the surrounding woods. According to Faifer, Diamandy's other writings display a taste for "the picturesque" and "the unforeseen". These include "Ne om", but also his travelogue, his hunting stories, and his novellas. The latter works show bohemian society and the rural elite at their most decadent, subject to illusions and violent passions.
