According to J.C. Balmaceda in his Ang Tatlong Panahon ng Tulang Tagalog ("The Three Periods of Tagalog Poetry", 1938), Regalado was "one of the later 19th century poets who broke from the traditional forms of the metrical romance and the church verse in order to forge a new trail in Tagalog poetry."
