''Different'' peaked at number eight on the Belgian Albums Chart and was certified Gold in Poland and Switzerland. Critical reception AllMusic editor John Lucas rated the album three and a half out of five stars. He found that "the music on the album is fairly standard turn of the century Euro dance. The singles are all good, "Mon Coeur Resiste Encore" and the cover of "Désenchantée" are outstanding, but an abundance of filler and samey production renders the album less than essential."
