Turning for Home, released in February 1991 by Columbia Records, is the debut album by American country music artist Mike Reid. It produced the number-one single "Walk on Faith", [3] as well as four more singles, three of which entered the country top twenty chart. The album peaked at No. 22 on the Country Albums chart. [4]
Thom Owens wrote in his AllMusic review that, "Turning for Home is Mike Reid's most consistent release, demonstrating not only his talent for crafting a fine contemporary country song, but also his ability to deliver it. Reid had long been known for writing terrific commercial songs, but with Turning for Home, he showed that he could sing them with emotion as well as any other singer." [1]
Alanna Nash reviews the album for Entertainment Weekly and writes, "Now comes his debut vocal album, Turning for Home, one of the best surprises of the new year. Reid is an all-around winner: His upbeat songs ("Walk on Faith") work as both thoughtful and intimate vignettes and as snappy radio rotation. And as a singer, he's alternately gruff and sensitive, with a gift for emotional directness." [2]
People Magazine concludes their review with, "While the songs are articulate and smooth, especially the up-tempo "I'll Stop Loving You," they are easier to tune out than they might be. Vocal charisma is hard to define; nonetheless, there aren't many signs of it on this album." [5]
