Pitchforks Nate Patrin deemed How I Got Over "a particularly efficient album ... the Roots' shortest (a lean 42 and a half minutes), one of their most lyrically straightforward, and a work of strong stylistic cohesion". In The New York Times, Jon Pareles appraised the record as a meditative work about self-determination that he believed was particularly relevant to the economic downturn of the late 2000s. "Even in its boasts, How I Got Over is selfless: an album of doubts, parables and pep talks", Pareles wrote. James Shahan from URB found it "dark and tragic in places, but also enlightening and empowering", and Spin journalist Charles Aaron said "you'd have to rewind early-'90s Scarface or Wu-Tang for such convincingly cold-eyed hip-hop existentialism".

Howard used race as shorthand for physical characteristics and motivation. He would also make up some racial traits, possibly for the sake of brevity, such as Sailor Steve Costigan's statement that a "Chinee can't take a punch." Further, in his other works, Howard described 'orientals' as being of a culture that was 'old when Babylon was young,' as well as attributing to 'Khitans,' the Hyborian race whose descendants formed the Chinese culture, great mystical powers and an ancient knowledge beyond the reckoning of the 'west.
