The album was a follow-up to the tremendous success of her debut album. It resembles the same sound from its predecessor, but only bigger and bolder in terms of incorporating urban-style to upbeat rhythmic jams and harmonic sound to powerful sentimental ballads. Ricky Ilacad, head of Warner label, assigned a few international songwriters and arrangers, including Jörgen Elofsson and Rudy Pérez, to collaborate with the label on the production of the album, which is noticeably broader compared to the first project. For the first time, Nina wrote a song, \"Can't Say I Love You\", which made it to the final cut. The album contains three cover versions of songs by Madonna, Baron Barbers and Cris Villonco.Upon release, the album received generally favorable reviews from music critics, many of which pointed out the similarities of its sound to Nina's debut, but criticized the lack of appeal and new sound and failure to produce potential hits. It is also described as her most Mariah Carey-influenced album at that time. In 2004, it was certified gold by the Philippine Association of the Record Industry (PARI). On June 21, 2005, it was made available on digital download through iTunes and Amazon.com MP3 Download. In 2009, the song \"What If\" was covered by Korean boyband Super Junior for their album Sorry, Sorry. To date, the album has sold more than 30,000 units in the Philippines, certifying Platinum by the PARI.Three successful commercial singles were released from the album. \"Make You Mine\", the lead single, became Nina’s third number one single in the country, allowing her to be the first and only female OPM artist to have three number one singles in a span of one year. \"A Girl Can Dream\" was released as the second single and it performed well on Philippine charts. It did not reach number one, however, but she managed to popularize the song and make it her own, even if it was originally recorded by another artist. \"Sayang Naman\" is the first Tagalog single by Nina and the last commercial single from the album. It was released due to high demand and requests by fans and listeners. Despite this, the song did not perform on charts as well as her previous releases."@en }
