In a review for her book Archaic Smile, Able Muse, a formalist online poetry journal, noted that, “For all of Stallings’ formal virtuosity, few of her poems are strictly metrically regular. Indeed, one of the pleasant surprises of Archaic Smile is the number of superb poems in the gray zone between free and blank verse.” Her work has been favorably compared to the poetry of Richard Wilbur and Edna St. Vincent Millay. In a review of her second book, Hapax, Peter Campion critically wrote that, “The meter and rhyme unfold elegantly, but at the expense of idiom,” a criticism that is commonly aimed at the Formalist poets. On a positive note, Campion also states that, “[her best poems in the collection] match prosodic talent with intensely rendered feelings.” In a review for her collection Olives, Publishers Weekly stated that they were most impressed with those poems that were not responses to ancient mythology, noting, “When she unleashes her technical gifts upon poems in which she builds a new narrative instead of building upon an old one, Stallings achieves a restrained, stark poise that is threatening even by New Formalism standards.”
