Her music has been compared to that of Alvvays, The Drums, She has cited Animal Collective, Bruce Springsteen and Steely Dan AllMusics Tim Sendra described the album as "a fully realized and impressive debut that shows Sallee is both a songwriting and recording prodigy of sorts, but also a very inventive vocalist." Writing for Pitchfork, Philip Cosores noted that "Sallee packs numerous songwriting and recording styles into the collection" and identified "Lost Feeling" as "the record’s best and most Lou Reed-sounding song".

No Fool Like an Old Fool (2018) No Fool Like an Old Fool, Sallee's second album, was released in 2018. The Line of Best Fits Ian King identified "I Tried" as evidence that while "the assumption with hushed solo songwriters is often that their lyrical themes are dominated by introspection... Sallee makes a point to step outside of her own perspective from time to time and try to occupy a different mindset from her own" and noted that "modest means and humble ends shape the character of No Fool Like An Old Fool." Reviewing the album for The Austin Chronicle, Libby Webster wrote that Salle's vocals "never reach above a mumble, but a sleepy desperation quavers throughout her songs."

Ohio River (2019) The Ohio River EP was released in 2019.

In June 2020 Sallee released a cover of Spacemen 3's "So Hot (Wash Away All of My Tears)" as a fundraiser for the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund.

The Lucky One (2024) Sallee's third album, The Lucky One, was released in October 2024. The singles "Faded and Golden", "Roses" and "Dust" were released before the album release. In a 2024 interview, Sallee had the album had been influenced by the experience of the COVID-19 pandemic and that her motivation had been "celebrating people who aren’t typically celebrated and treasuring what is usually discarded."

Kelly Scanlon of Far Out wrote that "The Lucky One ... lives up to all expectations, adorned with Sallee’s signature vulnerability but with the bonus of clarity", and identified the relationship between memory and emotion as the album's major theme.
