 The album was (and still is) one of the best-selling double albums in the history of Quebec popular music, selling over 100,000 copies after a few months.Nevertheless, at the time, it had less impact in Quebec than the two previous albums, because of the not-radio-friendly lengthy songs and the sophisticated melodies.Critics largely offered a warm reception to the album, particularly in the world of progressive rock, where it was praised well outside the borders of Quebec.
