The Spring, 2003 issue of Howard Magazine named him one of the university's cadre of promising young scholars and he was included in a Spring, 2002 editorial in the Hilltop student newspaper as one of the university's "dream team" of faculty committed to student intellectual excellence. The 2003 issue of U.S. News and World Report devoted to "America's Premier Undergraduate Institutions" cited Dr. Carr's "African Aesthetics" class as an exemplar of Howard's unique status among the nation's Historically Black Colleges and Universities. 

He was named one of the ten best Howard faculty, staff and administrators in a annual polling sample of 1,500 students conducted by the Talented Tenth Student Organization in 2005 and 2006 and, on April 15, 2006, the Howard University Student Association and the College of Arts and Sciences Student Council named him its 2005-06 Professor of the Year.
