The first single, "Anggapan Mu" topping the Carta Muzik-Muzik and many radio charts in Malaysia. The second single, "Putus Terpaksa", also topped Carta Muzik-Muzik, but it received mixed reviews with critics panning its high pitch structure as well as its lyrics which were rumoured to portray a girl falling in love with a drug addict.[1] Both singles were shortlisted in the semi-final of 1993's Anugerah Juara Lagu, but neither of the songs made it to the final round.

Ziana Zain has been certified Platinum by the RIM for selling 85,000 copies.[2]
