"Contrary to popular beliefs (as evidenced by the people who'd reviewed this track), this song does absolutely nothing for me at all. In fact, it really grates on my nerves every time this song came on. First off, I have nothing against R Kelly, and in fact, am quite a fan of his work prior to this song. I personally feel that his previous single "I Believe I Can Fly" is much better and contains more soul than this single. In this song, R Kelly sounds like he's trying to do some vocal gymnastics (a la Mariah Carey) and he comes across as just plain irritating. In fact, one other song that's much better came out during about the time 'Turn' was released, and that's Brian McKnight's 'Back At One'. 'Back' is a much simpler song that come across much more sincere than 'Turn'. But I have to admit one thing, the MTV was pretty cool with its use of special effects."
