The album witnessed immediate success and became a best seller for a debut artist. Her music video for the hit song "Ana Wel Shouk" became one of the most requested music videos as soon as it was broadcasted on local and cable television.

During Myriam's promotional tours for her album in Jordan, the UAE and Egypt, media representatives and fan base gave her an effusive welcome.
