It was the first album to feature guitarist [[Ronnie Wood]] as a full-time member; Wood had contributed to some tracks on the band's prior two albums, ''[[It's Only Rock 'n Roll]]'' (1974) and ''[[Black and Blue]]'' (1976). With a stable lineup in place for the first time in several years, the album marked a return to basics for the Rolling Stones and did not feature many guest musicians, unlike many of their prior albums. Notable contributions to the album, however, come from [[blues]] harmonica player [[Sugar Blue]] on "[[Miss You (Rolling Stones song)|Miss You]]" and the [[Some Girls (Rolling Stones song)|title track]].
Despite controversy surrounding its cover artwork and lyrical content, ''Some Girls'' was a commercial success, peaking at number two on the [[UK Albums Chart]] and number one on the US [[Billboard 200|''Billboard'' Top
Rebounding from the relative critical disappointment of ''Black and Blue'', ''Some Girls'' was a critical success, with many reviewers calling it a classic return to form for the band and their best album since ''[[Exile on Main St.]]'' (1972). It became the only Rolling Stones album to be nominated for a [[Grammy|Grammy Award]] in the [[Grammy Award for Album of the Year|Album of the Year]] category.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=5gIpAAAAIBAJ&sjid=C9MEAAAAIBAJ&pg=2129,3598894&dq|title=Bee Gees Head Lists For 6 Grammy Awards|date=9 January 1979|access-date=23 April 2010|work=[[The Daytona Beach News-Journal|Daytona Beach Morning Journal]]|publisher=The News-Journal Corporation|archive-date=16 June 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200616154102/https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=5gIpAAAAIBAJ&sjid=C9MEAAAAIBAJ&pg=2129%2C3598894&dq=|url-status=live}}</ref> Retrospectively, it has continued to receive acclaim, with many commending the band's ability to blend contemporary music trends with their older signature style. ''Some Girls'' is considered one of the band's finest records, and ''[[Rolling Stone]]'' has included it in their lists of the "[[Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time|500 Greatest Albums of All Time]]".
