- Smile is the third successive Laura Nyro album to feature at least one cover version - this time "Sexy Mama," which begins the record.
- The album precipitated Nyro's first tour with a band, documented on the live album Season of Lights.
- "I Am the Blues" had been a feature in Laura Nyro concerts as early as 1970 and is featured in live 1971 form on the live album Spread Your Wings and Fly: Live at the Fillmore East May 30, 1971.
- Nyro had been due to sign with David Geffen's Asylum Records label but kept with Columbia Records and never worked with him again. Some have suspected that the song "Money" is about Nyro's and Geffen's relationship.
- Smile is Laura Nyro's first album since leaving New York City.
