Turn the Tides is the only studio album by 38th Parallel.

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.

The review says, "Turn the Tides is a terrific debut with tight hooks, head-bobbing rhythms, smooth vocals, and godly lyrics.
