Stanton Swihart of AllMusic described the album as "a wild, weird, instantly left-field rap masterpiece from one seriously bugged-out, innovative loner."^[2] Thomas Quinlan of Exclaim! stated that it "embraces the late '80s/early '90s of hip-hop, with old school beats and battle rhymes (the Primitive), while at the same time shaking hands with new school lyricism and space age effects (the Plus)."^[4] Nathan Rabin of The A.V. Club wrote, "One of the year's most promising debuts, Primitive Plus makes the beats of yesterday and the flows of today sound like the hip-hop of tomorrow."^[3]
