Critical reception edit

Ashleigh Kittle writes in her AllMusic review, "38th Parallel offers listeners an edgy style, at times mixing elements of hip-hop with gentler melodies and harmonies."[1]

J. D. of Jesus Freak Hideout writes, "While 38th is nothing new to our ears, they offer a decent debut with Turn the Tides and a positive release for those tired of the trite angst of secular counterparts."[3]

Todd Hertz of Christianity Today ranks this album No. 11 in its Top 12 Christian Albums of 2002. The review says, "Turn the Tides is a terrific debut with tight hooks, head-bobbing rhythms, smooth vocals, and godly lyrics."[5]
