MOJO magazine praised Bayonne's debut for "channelling the celestial overlaid vocals of AnCo, Toro y Moi's soaring gauzy electronic pop, the live, looping sample techniques of tUnE-yArDs and D.D. Dumbo, and even Steve Reich's shuddering, percussive experiments in repetition - with charming results." Rolling Stone calls Primitives "an unusually fascinating work."
