The group is best known for their hit recording of "Snoopy vs. the Red Baron", which was first released in 1966 as a 45rpm record single (it reached No. 2 in the US and No. 8 in the UK) and had previously been released as the title track to their debut album; both it and its follow-up "The Return of the Red Baron" were re-released on this album. The song "Snoopy's Christmas", introduced on this album, is still one of the Top 10 ‘non-traditional’ Christmas songs played during the month of December each year per BMI and ASCAP. All three songs constitute side A of Snoopy and His Friends.

Two singles were released from the album: the aforementioned "Snoopy's Christmas" and "I Say Love." The latter, a non-Snoopy-themed song, reached number 72 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Charles Schulz, creator of the Peanuts comic strip (and the Snoopy character), drew the album artwork. He agreed to contribute artwork and allow the group to release the record in exchange for a cut of the royalties.
