This album reached the Top 10 on the Billboard 200 albums chart, peaking at #7, and peaked at #2 on Billboard's R&B album chart. Ten of the albums' 12 songs were written by Miracles members Smokey Robinson, Pete Moore, Marv Tarplin, Bobby Rogers, and the late Ronnie White .

Greatest Hits, Vol. 2 was voted the 166th best album of all time in Paul Gambaccini's 1978 poll of 50 prominent American and English rock critics.
