Both albums were well received by critics and audiences. In the years that followed, Jam & Spoon focused primarily on the recipe for success of Right in the Night and they managed to achieve high chart positions several times, in 1997 the album Kaleidoscope was released .
In 2004 the album Tripomatic Fairy Tales 3003 was released. Here, too, Plavka took part in the Duo Jam & Spoon.
