The live performances of "Mall" were heavily praised by music critics and fans with a critic describing Bushpepa's "emotional" and "confident" vocal delivery as "faultless" and "majestic". In a poll conducted by Wiwibloggs titled "Who gave the best live performance at Eurovision In Concert 2018?", the singer finished in first place with over 2,600 votes. After Bushpepa's participation at the Eurovision Song Contest, the president of Albania, Ilir Meta, welcomed him on 17 May 2018 to his official residence in Tirana and joined him by doing the sign of the horns.
