The album was the subject of mild controversy upon its release, prompted by a negative reaction to its faux-ethnic themes by the Indian government but no legal action was ever pursued.^[1][2]

Two of its tracks have been featured in the Beatmania IIDX series of video games^[3] and one is featured in the 2000 edition of Samba de Amigo.^[4]
