Reception
Turn on Your Radio received negative reviews by the majority of critics. Ron Wynn reviewing for Allmusic marked the absence of a strong soulful-lead vocalist such as former Change collaborators Luther Vandross or James Robinson as a flaw. "The leads throughout this session, even on the lone successful single, "Let's Go Together," were more efficient than distinctive. Wynn also noted that the production had faltered describing the arrangements of Jacques Fred Petrus as "recycled" takes on what had "once made the group a major act".
