The album consisting of ten of Ross' greatest hits as a solo artist, became her second album in 1976 to hit the Top Five in the UK. It was certified Gold in the U.K for sales in excess of 100,000 copies.[3] Most international editions included four additional tracks; Ross' UK #10 hit "I'm Still Waiting" from the album "Everything Is Everything", the 1975 non-album single "Sorry Doesn't Always Make It Right", "All Of My Life" from the album "Touch Me In The Morning" , "Doobeedoo'Ndoobe, Doobeedoo'Ndoobe, Doobeedoo'Ndoo" from the album "Everything Is Everything" and also the extended single mix of 1973's "Touch Me in The Morning".

Most Motown Greatest Hits followed a similar album art template. Victor Skrebeneski was commissioned to create the beautiful photography on a very fine quality cardboard paper.
