In September 2003, Sean Paul re-released the album in order to cater more to international markets. The re-released version replaced all the skits and the track "It's On" with the hit single "Baby Boy", a collaboration with Beyoncé that became one of the biggest hits of 2003, topping the Billboard Hot 100, spending nine weeks at number one. The album was certified double Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and sold over 6 million copies worldwide by the end of 2003, helping Sean Paul become a Grammy Award-winning artist, earning Best Reggae Album in 2004. In December 2022, the album was certified triple Platinum.
