ReviewsRanked #33 in Mojo's "The 50 Best Albums Of 2010" -- "A tight, driving 45-minutes that again saw The Roots raise hip hop quality control to new levels.", "There are pleasures here, especially with ?uestlove's restless studio assemblages and coproducer Dice Raw's yearning hooks.", "A particularly efficient album. It's the Roots' shortest, one of their most lyrically straightforward, and a work of strong stylistic cohesion.", "The Album Delivers All the Funk/Soul/Jazz Vibes Fans Have Come to Expect." -- Grade: A-, "Its Mix of Nifty Experiments and Straightforward Rap Eliminates Any Sense of Predictability.", 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "On HOW I GOT OVER, they cover Monsters of Folk, scat like the Dirty Projectors and -- most thrillingly -- make Joanna Newsom sound as funky as Erykah Badu...", "The hooks, however somber they may sound, have got enough 'stickability' to make for an albums worth of singles....The Roots have clearly approached HOW I GOT OVER as a cohesive collection.", "'Radio Daze' could be the album’s most accessible track, in incorporating background soul singers, live instrumentation, a jazz piano, Dice Raw’s silky hook and smooth flows from Blu and frontman Black Thought. This is just a flat-out display of beautiful music."
Additional InformationHow I Got Over, the most subdued of the Roots' three Def Jam albums, features some of the band's most downcast and alluring material.
