The album won the Best Folk Record award at the Montreux International Music Festival (Switzerland) that same year. It also went gold in February 1981 in Canada, selling over 50,000 copies. They scored a final hit with the song "La Fille du capitaine", and continued their solo careers from 1979 onwards.
