Wei Yuan said that Li Zhaoluo had a keen understanding of all his studies and referred to him as a "modern Confucian scholar.". Modern Confucian scholar Shen Zengzhi regarded Li Zhaoluo as a "private lady teacher". Academically, Li Zhaoluo excels in many practical studies such as history and geography, emphasizing the importance of practical application in the world. His compilation of the Fengtai County Annals has been praised by Lin Zexu for his "appropriate decision-making and excellent synthesis". He printed Gu Yanwu's "Ri Zhi Lu", with a special focus on praising the "useful" learning in it. In literature, Li Zhaoluo praised the Eight Dynasties Parallel Prose, which has a unique feature in literary history.

Professor Xu Yanping from the School of Literature at Nanjing University believes that Li Zhaoluo was an advanced scholar who discovered many problems in late Qing society in 1820 or earlier and wanted to improve them through education and other practices. Li Zhaoluo's engraved editions were mostly edited by later generations and are no longer in their original form, while early versions helped people understand his personal psychology and ideological activities during his writings. Huang Shuhui, the operator of Universal Literature, believes that Li Zhaoluo's "Full Text of the Eight Dynasties" manuscript has a large volume of original materials, providing scholars with sufficient raw materials for research, and will also promote the compilation of the historical verification version of Li Zhaoluo's complete collection in the future.
