Reception[edit]

Upon its release, Primitives received generally positive reviews. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album holds an average score of 74 based on nine critics, indicating "generally positive reviews."[1] 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."[1] Rolling Stone calls Primitives "an unusually fascinating work."[2]
