The album featured the song "Eisai" that later became Call Me in English and which topped the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play in 2005. The album was later officially released in Turkey and Bulgaria. The song Treno was awarded song of the year by Arion Awards, IFPI's Greek recorded music awards. The album reached 3× Platinum in Greece and 3× Platinum in Cyprus. Treno also won the Arion Award for Best video clip, and also Song of the Year in both 2003 and 2004 in Cyprus.

Release

It was re-released as Paraksenes Eikones: Summer 2004 Edition in the summer of 2004 with a bonus CD of remixes, which was also sold separately as Remixes 2004. This was Vissi's first album since the 1982's Eimai To Simera Kai Eisai To Chthes that included songs written by other composers besides Nikos Karvelas and also the first album since 1995's O! Kypros not to feature Karvelas entirely either on the composition or on the production part. In 2019, the album was selected for inclusion in the Panik Gold box set The Legendary Recordings 1982-2019. The release came after Panik's acquisition rights of Vissi's back catalogue from her previous record company Sony Music Greece. This box set was printed on a limited edition of 500 copies containing CD releases of all of her albums from 1982 to 2019 plus unreleased material. Tracks from the 2004 repackage, though, were omitted.
