Īll songs written by Sylvester Stewart, and produced and arranged by Sly Stone for Stone Flower Productions. Christgau asserted that the music's flashy stereo separations, vocal sounds, and register alterations made Greatest Hits 'the toughest commercial experiments in rock and roll history'. He said that Stone's political songs are 'uplifting but never simplistic or sentimental', and found the rhythms particularly exceptional, calling them 'inspirational, good-humored, and trenchant throughout'. Although he found occasionally 'trite' music and lyrics, Landau felt that most of the songs 'alone stand as a tribute to one of the most original and creative rock musicians.' In Christgau's Record Guide: Rock Albums of the Seventies (1981), Robert Christgau said that, although he has 'doubts' about the band's studio albums, Greatest Hits is 'among the greatest rock and roll LPs of all time', with 'only one cut ('Fun')' wherein the lyrics are 'merely competent'. In a contemporary review for Rolling Stone, music critic Jon Landau said that Sly Stone's style is 'so infinite and revolves around so many crucial aspects that it has only come together perfectly on a handful of his singles', the best of which are compiled on Greatest Hits.
