This album went double platinum in Ireland, and was voted one of the top 100 Irish albums of all time by HotPress Magazine readers. In August 1998, Turner sang the song "Broken Things" (originally released by American Julie Miller) at the memorial service for the victims of the Omagh bombing. She initially ruled out releasing the song as a single, although it did subsequently appear on the compilation Across The Bridge Of Hope. In Autumn 2002, Turner picked up a "Best Newcomer in Music" award from the London-based Irish Post newspaper and another award for her contribution to music from Tatler Magazine at their Women of the Year ceremony in Dublin. Turner covered Britney Spears' "Toxic" for Today FM's CD Even Better than the Real Thing Vol. 2 (2004), and recorded a cover of "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" by U2 for Even Better than the Real Thing Vol. 3 (2005).

In February 2005, Turner was awarded the Meteor Music Award for best Irish female performer. From September 2006 to June 2010, Turner studied for a degree in Clinical Speech and Language Studies at Trinity College Dublin, while also undertaking gigs to support the album People Have Names. On its release in 2008, "People have Names" was described by the Irish Times as "a gloriously taut collection of songs", by the Belfast Telegraph as "The album of her life", and HotPress as "a serious contender for album of the year".
