Editorial Review:
So the Stones take off a few months to write, get arrested, the usual, and their U.S. label tosses together the 1967 version of December's Children, complete with tackily precious "psychedelic" artwork. And it's great, however clumsily sequenced and cursed with a lousy version of "My Girl" it may be. Non-single tracks withheld from the American editions of Aftermath and Between the Buttons stand as highlights even alongside "Let's Spend the Night Together," and the offhand nastiness of "Back Street Girl" and "Sittin' on a Fence" short-circuit the sleeve's floral motif. --Rickey Wright
Flowers Reviews:
Flowers by the Stones 
2009-01-09 - Bought this just to get "Out of touch" and found that all but two are classic Stones from the era - great collection of late 60s rock from the World's pre-eminent band.
Heart Pounding Rock and Roll
2006-06-12 - I have to admit that even though "Flowers" is sort of a catch all of B sides, songs that came out on UK records, older studio things and a few rereleased songs, this is a collection that I really, really like. I play this record just the way it is. I deleted no songs. nor did I add any, when I put this record on my iPod. I guess I was just so used to listening to the songs in this order that I couldn't bear to change it. All of the songs on this record were penned by Mick and Keith, except for Smokey Robinson's "My Girl." The record opens with the better than excellent "Ruby Tuesday," which kind of sets the tone for the album as it segues right into the rocking "Mother's Little Helper," than it's all she wrote as "Mother" fades into "Let's Spend the Night Together." Wow, if that line up doesn't get your pulse pumping, you blood running, your heart pounding, well you're just plain not human.
Time warp
2003-12-02 - Ok. So my son bought me this because it was always playing in the background when he was small (along with "Little White Duck" and Leonard Cohen, of course). It doesn't matter that the songs are also on other albums...they have to be somewhere....
This album reminds me of what the hell I thought I was doing way back then. The attitudes represented in the songs are a fair representation of the mentality of the times. And remember,"Let's Spend Some Time Together" was left off this disc. It's worth going back to the source!
Flowers --- Stone still in bloom 
2002-09-13 - Flowers is good album. It may feature songs that appear elsewhere, but it is a pivotal album in the Stones catalog. It marks an important turning point in the band, representing the band's original sound and introducing sounds that would be hallmarks of future releases.
The Stones 'Yellow Submarine'
2002-07-26 - Wow.........some of the more negative reviews are harsh. 'WEEDS' is what one reviewer called 'Flowers'. First, I got to say that I'm a huge Stones fan. 'Exile' and 'Sticky Fingers' are my favorites, but it was 'Flowers', 'Between The Buttons' and 'Through The Past Darkly' that turned me on to the Stones when I was about 13 years old. I didn't know much about them before these records. What I do remember though, is how these records affected me. I would listen to 'Flowers' every morning before going to school and hum every song until I got home and then I'd put it back on the turntable again. 'Have You Seen Your Mother Baby....' is a GREAT single (although legend has it that a much better mix of the tune exists somewhere). 'Ride On Baby' is my favorite. 'Out of Time' is classic 1966 pop. 'Backstreet Girl' is very English. These songs are filled with Brian Jones colors.
This record led me to Stones. Like 'Yellow Submarine' led me to The Beatles. Buy it for your kids who are to young for 'Sister Morphine'.
