The album was preceded by the release of a cover version of the Miracles' "Going to a Go-Go", which became a Top 30 hit in the United Kingdom and United States; the follow-up single, "Time Is on My Side", reached the lower part of the UK chart.

Still Life was a commercial success, reaching number 4 in the UK Albums Chart and number 5 in the U.S., and going Platinum in the U.S. and Canada, as well as Gold in the UK, but was not critically well-received, being admonished for sounding too slick and lacking any rough edges expected in a Rolling Stones performance.[1]

In 1998, Still Life was remastered and reissued by

Universal Music. It was released on SHM-SACD
in 2011 by Universal Music Japan.
