Allmusic.com gave Turn of the Cards a 4 1/2 star review:
The third album by this incarnation of Renaissance was a match for their previous success, Ashes Are Burning, with equally impressive performances and songwriting and a few new musical twists added. The songs here fit more easily into a rock vein, and the prior album’s folk influences are gone. Turn of the Cards rocks a bit harder, albeit always in a progressive rock manner, and Jon Camp’s bass and Terence Sullivan’s drums are both harder and heavier here, the bass (the group’s only amplified instrument) in particular much more forward in the mix.
