Khánh An received positive feedback for Đêm ả đào during the second Sao Mai 2026 final-stage live show on 11 October. In comments to Thanh Niên, she said exploring different musical styles did not mean abandoning bolero. The singer wants to expand her skills while retaining her identity and learning through each round. Judges' praise concerns that performance; it does not establish that she has won the competition's overall title.
