The reworked, remixed and remastered version including an unreleased bonus track was released in November 2002. The CD was chosen "The folk music record of the year 1997" in Finland.

The Allmusic review by Heather Phares awards the album 4 stars and states " Singer/fiddler Jenny Wilhelms leads the quartet in traditional dances and ballads from the Swedish-speaking people of Finland, along with evocative instrumentals penned by the band."[2]
