Mike Laws of the Village Voice characterised him as “a writer without peer in virtually all of rock” and identified “rapid-fire prosody and facility with internal rhyme” as Turner’s trademarks. Simon Armitage, writing in The Guardian, said: “Of all those writing lyrics today, Turner is among the most poetic. His use of internal rhyme exists to be admired and envied … Turner is a storyteller and scene-setter.” “Like all the estimable British lyricists, be it Noël Coward or Morrissey, Turner has always been willing to risk a delicious irony or witty turn of phrase, even in a sad song.” Kitty Empire of The Observer considers him “probably the finest lyricist of his generation.”

John Cooper Clarke, whose poetry Turner first encountered at school, was a “massive” source of early inspiration. Turner was working as a barman at The Boardwalk in Sheffield in late 2004 when Clarke appeared on stage as the opening act for The Fall. The performance made a big impression on the eighteen-year-old: “He’s talking 100 miles an hour, and he’s really funny … It just blew my mind.” He was inspired by Clarke’s use of a regional accent and the early Arctic Monkeys song “From the Ritz to the Rubble” was his homage to Clarke’s style (“my best shot at it, at least”). Later in his career, Turner requested to interview Clarke for Mojo Magazine, published two Clarke poems as part of a single’s artwork and used another (“I Wanna Be Yours”) as the lyrical basis for a song. In 2018, Arctic Monkeys invited Clarke to perform his reading of “I Wanna Be Yours” at one of their Sheffield arena shows.
