With the success of Styx's album "The Grand Illusion", Wooden Nickel Records, Styx's previous label, released "Best of Styx", which contained selected Styx songs in the Wooden Nickel catalog. Styx had left Wooden Nickel Records to sign with A&M Records several years earlier, so the compilation does not contain any songs from Styx's three A&M albums that preceded this album's release. "Lady" and "Best Thing" are the two songs that could be classified as hits in this collection, having charted at numbers 6 and 82 on the Billboard Hot 100, respectively. "You Need Love" had been released as a single, but it did not chart. The remainder of the songs are selected album tracks from Styx's Wooden Nickel releases.

RCA Records reissued the album with new artwork in 1980.
