PRIMITIVE blends smooth ballads like "Turn Around" with more uptempo material like "Brooklyn on a Saturday Night" and the title track in an impeccably performed collection of sophisticated mid-1980s pop. It's a confident, optimistic-sounding record, where disco-influenced tracks like "Crazy" sit side-by-side with songs like the beautifully understated "My Time With You" and the romantic "You Make It Feel Like Christmas," and Diamond's reined-in vocals give the album a direct, personal feel.
