"Accompanied by a cadre of Chilean musicians, including the inventive percussionist Yayo Serka and keyboardist Pablo Vergara, Acuña imbues the lyrics with unbound emotion. She turns "But Beautiful" into a potent uptempo romp and offers an enthralling tribute to Abbey Lincoln with a tightly coiled version of Lincoln's song "Bird Alone." More than a return to form, Turning Pages seems to open a new chapter for Acuña, whose new music is a soul-baring reply to anyone who's been wondering where she went".

"It's been 10 years since Claudia Acuña's last album, but the Chilean singer is as warmly expressive as ever on Turning Pages, her most personal effort to date, with five originals. Acuña's elemental lyrics evoke a life-affirming message, and their musical settings, though rooted in jazz, lean here toward folkrock and nueva canción, guitarist Juancho Herrera having succeeded pianist Jason Lindner as produce ... May her next recording emerge before another decade passes".
