In December 2005 the album was nominated for a Best Pop Vocal Album Grammy Award.The album got a new boost of life in 2006 when the second single was announced as "Always on Your Side", recorded with British musician Sting, where it was quickly embraced at Adult Top 40. The first single "Good Is Good" was nominated for a Best Female Pop Vocal Performance at the Grammy Awards.
