MOG Editorial Review

While he never quite evolved beyond being the poster boy for the folk portion of the British Invasion, Donovan's A Gift From a Flower to a Garden proved the be the perfect showcase his versatile songwriting skills. Consisting of a massive 22 tracks, Donovan crafted protest songs, love ballads and everywhere in between, while his instrumentation sometimes expanded to luscious strings and feel-good piano chords. The latter is fully on display for the latter on standout "Someone's Singing," showing that he could go toe-to-toe with the Beatles during the rare occasion he was at the top of his game. The same could be said for opener "Wear Your Love Like Heaven," a song that conjures up images of the hippie era at its gentlest, and just serves as a reminder that he was a contender for a reason.
AMG Review of Gift from a Flower to a Garden

Bruce Eder
All Music Guide

Rock music's first two-LP box set, A Gift from a Flower to a Garden overcomes its original shortcomings and stands out as a prime artifact of the flower-power era that produced it. The music still seems a bit fey, and overall more spacy than the average Moody Blues album of this era, but the sheer range of subjects and influences make this a surprisingly rewarding work. Essentially two albums recorded simultaneously in the summer of 1967, the electric tracks include Jack Bruce among the session players. The acoustic tracks represent an attempt by Donovan to get back to his old sound and depart from the heavily electric singles ("Sunshine Superman," etc.) and albums he'd been doing -- it is folkier and bluesier (in an English folk sense) than much of his recent work.
