The album followed Haddad's debut album Saken success. It was a big hit in Arabic TV channels Top 20 charts including Middle East Broadcasting Center, Qatar, Dubai, Arab Radio and Television Network and the popular entertainment channel Lebanese Broadcasting Corporation . Dubai, the city, was full of Diana Haddad billboards as a commercial from Haddad's label Stallions Records. The album was certified Multiplatinum in the Arab World including Dubai and Lebanon. Although the album contains six tracks only, it performed well in the charts and sold million of copies in the Middle East. On TV channels, Haddad appeared in different programs including Rania Barghout Show on MBC. Ahl Al Esheg received mixed reviews from music critics and magazines. Rabie Al Hunaidy who was a music writer in the Emirates passed magazine "Al Riyadah Wal Shabab" helped Haddad in the album commercial. He did several interviews with Haddad and her husband Suhail. A special thanks was written to him on the album cover. When Ahl Al Esheg first released it was only released as a compact cassette album, the cassettes were more common in the Arab World that time so it wasn't released as a compact disc. In 1999 while Haddad was promoting her smash hit album Shater a new edition of Ahl Al Esheg was released with a new cover not the same as the 1996 one and also the album was released as a CD for the first time when the CDs were begging to spread.

Famous quotes containing the word promotion:
“I am asked if I would not be gratified if my friends would procure me promotion to a brigadier-generalship. My feeling is that I would rather be one of the good colonels than one of the poor generals. The colonel of a regiment has one of the most agreeable positions in the service, and one of the most useful. “A good colonel makes a good regiment,” is an axiom.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“Parents can fail to cheer your successes as wildly as you expected, pointing out that you are sharing your Nobel Prize with a couple of other people, or that your Oscar was for supporting actress, not really for a starring role. More subtly, they can cheer your successes too wildly, forcing you into the awkward realization that your achievement of merely graduating or getting the promotion did not warrant the fireworks and brass band.”
—Frank Pittman (20th century)
