The journalist of legendary Billboard magazine Fred Bronson chose this album as one of the 20 best albums of the year 1998 all over the world. Two songs from that album were successfully covered by other artists: "One & One" by Robert Miles in 1996 (before Górniak's original version was released as a single) – it went to No. 1 on the European singles chart and "Perfect Moment" by Martine McCutcheon in 1999 – it went to No. 1 in the UK. During the promotion of her international album, Górniak gave concert in Poland with legendary tenor José Carreras and recorded with him a new hit "Hope For Us" in 1997. She also had two more hits recorded for her Polish audience: "Lustro" ("Mirror") – Polish version of "Reflection" from the Disney movie "Mulan" in 1998 and "Dumka na dwa serca" ("Dumy on Two Hearts") – theme from the Polish movie "With Fire and Sword", which became the biggest Polish hit of 1999. In 1999, Górniak went on tour through Poland and released internationally the concert album "Live '99" in September 1999. In 2000 in Spanish Television TVE her Eurovision song from 1994 was voted the best Eurovision song of the last decade. In 2002, she was dropped from EMI International and signed to Virgin Germany. Her second international studio album was released in Poland in March 2002 under the title "Perła" ("Pearl"), a year before its international premiere. It was written and produced mainly by the team Absolute, which earlier worked for Tina Turner and The Spice Girls on their latest albums. New songs also were written by Steve Kipner ("Genie in a Bottle" for Christina Aguilera) and John Reid ("When The Heartache Is Over" for Tina Turner). The Polish edition was a double album, which contained additional Polish brand new songs, including hits "Jak najdalej" ("As Far As Possible") and "Nie proszę o więcej" ("I'm Not Asking for More"). Górniak was also asked to sing the Polish national anthem at the 2002 FIFA World Cup in Busan, South Korea, which she did. However, her performance had a decidedly mixed reception, being sung at a much slower tempo than usual. In March 2003 international version of "Perła" was released, under the title "Invisible".
