This was recorded at a beautiful moment in his career: producing himself for the first and only time in his career so this album’s finally free of the overproduced sound that could be heard on his earlier albums. […]

Blogcritics
I cannot understand why Turnstiles was not a huge commercial success. It would sell a million copies over time but when compared to the sales of its predecessor, The Stranger, that figure would pale in comparison. […]

Scott’s Rock and Soul Album Reviews
Musically the album is very satisfying, lyrically less consistently so but oftentimes quite good as well, and though Turnstiles didn’t quite break Billy on mainstream radio, it helped lay the groundwork for the gargantuan success of The Stranger. […]
