Despite the tour being rather successful, the album did not achieve a commercial success. the second single was "You Don't Die from Love".
Reception
Stéphanie received negative reviews from music critics. David Hiltbrand of People wrote, "This isn't a humiliating outing. But it sure is embarrassing. Oh, Steph hits all the notes but, unfortunately, without any conviction or depth".
