Preceded by the hit singles "Mademoiselle chante le blues", widely regarded as Kaas' signature song, and "D'Allemagne", the album was a commercial success, selling three million copies.

[7] Patricia Kaas' first single, "Jalouse", produced by actor Gérard Depardieu, caught the attention of the French singer and songwriter Didier Barbelivien.

Her second single, "D'Allemagne" (Eng: "From Germany"), written by Barbelivien and Bernheim, was released the following year and enjoyed moderate success, peaking at number 11 on the chart.

Three of the album's Top 10 singles – "Mademoiselle chante le blues", "Mon mec à moi" and "Quand Jimmy dit" – achieved silver certification in France, each selling over 200,000 copies.

In 1989, Kaas won Victoires de la Musique, one of France's most prestigious music awards, in the category "Discovery of the Year".
