Overall, And I Love H.E.R. is as good of a conceptual album as hip-hop has ever seen.

All Music Guide
Spaced over 17 tracks and 70 minutes, it's a rich listen, demanding headphones but rewarding the investment.

It may be hell for him, but it’s compelling listening for anyone smart enough to shitcan the Kanye comparisons long enough to sit down and give this record the attention it deserves.

Pitchfork
Swain seems eminently capable of empathy, but most of his time is spent chewing on deeply personal concerns, with the result being that the record can feel a bit hermetic at times. Lucky for him, then, that his personality is sufficiently engaging and his music sufficiently buoyant that we don't mind following him down his private rabbit holes.
The average user rating for this album is 8.5 (out of 10) based on 2 User Votes Note: User votes are NOT included in the Metascore calculation.
Michael G. gave it a9: Definitely the best hip hop album of 2008. Danny! outdid himself, again.
