Ray Lynch: Best Of, Volume One is Ray Lynch's first (and only) compilation album. In addition to songs from Lynch's previous albums, the compilation also includes three new music tracks, Ralph's Rhapsody, The Music of What Happens, and a remix of Celestial Soda Pop. The album peaked at #19 on Billboard's "Top New Age Albums Chart".
Carmel Carrillo of The Baltimore Sun gave the album two stars out of five, praising Lynch's combination of "synthesized and classical styles" but criticized the three new tracks, commentating that they are "disappointing compared with his better-known works from previous releases." Carrillo especially criticized the "Celestial Soda Pop" remix for being "too techno for many New Age devotees." Meanwhile, Steve Huey of Allmusic game the album 4.5/5 stars, claiming that the album is "the perfect introduction to Lynch's brand of lush, ambient electronic music."
Ray Lynch: Best Of, Volume One includes the following tracks.
All music composed, arranged, and produced by Ray Lynch except The Oh of Pleasure which is co–written with Tom Canning.
