Many critics considered
Turning Point to be a less fusion- and pop-oriented album than Eubanks's previous work, a conclusion that annoyed the musician.
The Indianapolis Star stated that "Eubanks has lots of facility, but he husbands his resources wisely... His playing is angular, crisply accented and loaded with funky hooks".
The Ottawa Citizen said, "On the pivotal 'Spiral Ways' the trio builds an ascending, tension-filled Eubanks melody to a
Mahavishnu-style boil, with Holland and Smith prodding the guitarist to the finest playing of his career."
The Birmingham Post praised the "exotic soundscapes and driving rhythms."
LA Weekly noted that Eubanks's "filing cabinet of technique [allows] him to be funky ratchet or classical gas."
The Philadelphia Inquirer said that Eubanks "endows 'Colors of One' with a sweet, dreamy sense of drift." ==Track listing==
