"A consistently winning album, Primal Heart finds Kimbra hitting the sweet spot between imagination and accessibility -- if her nods to the mainstream get more ears pointed her way, so much the better".

"The New Zealand musician's third album is a collision of hard electronics with a touch of R&B. Though it contains moments of great power, it sounds like a work that's stuck between two places ... "Talk like I be the Messiah," she says, with excessive hubris. It's the kind of statement you want to root for by such a hugely talented artist. Her vocal delivery, however, isn't fierce enough to pull it off. Other than a few attention-grabbing choruses, the results are largely limp".

"Og ja! For en gangs skyld spiller jeg bold på en uvant bane i GAFFA-regi. La musique pop. Der er langt fra doom-metal, IDM og tåbelige lydeksperimenter til Kimbras lydunivers. Men indimellem falder der en appelsin ned i turbanen, som ingen andre bemærker og som bør få mere opmærksomhed, end den får. En appelsin der gør at man må gribe den og sige: "Den her smager fandeme godt!". Jeg ville ønske, at flere pop-sangere lavede så personlige, melodiske og intelligente pop-albums, som Kimbra har gjort på Primal Heart. Nogle gange går tingene op i en højere enhed".
