AllMusic Review by Jason Ankeny

Minnie Riperton's solo debut is in many respects her finest hour -- devoid of
the overly syrupy production that hampers her later work, Come to My
Garden instead couches her miraculous voice in the elegant arrangements of
the great Charles Stepney, striking a perfect balance between romantic
melodrama and sensual nuance. Call Stepney's singular approach "chamber
soul"--the nimble melodies and insistent grooves swell with orchestral
flourishes, while the jazz-inspired rhythms (courtesy of Ramsey Lewis' group)
at times evoke Van Morrison's masterpiece Astral Weeks. Stepney creates the
ideal backdrop for Riperton's soaring vocals, which reveal a subtlety and
restraint absent from the glass-shattering bombast of her subsequent
performances -- the opening "Les Fleurs" (covered decades later by 4Hero)
crystallizes the entire record, embracing both intimacy and majesty to
haunting effect.
