Critical Reception
The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reported an approval rating of 95%, with an average score of 6.4/10, based on 21 reviews. The site wrote: "If Jennifer Garner wants to make another action movie like Peppermint, she should take notes from Ngô Thanh Vân, a star with explosive charisma and bone-crunching Vietnamese martial arts. Hai Phượng may be the most entertaining film of its kind since The Raid 2 made waves outside Indonesia five years ago." On the Internet Movie Database, the film has an average score of 6.3/10, based on 65 reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews".

Hà Tuyết of Zing News praised the film's intensity, writing: "The numerous action scenes in the film show meticulous investment. The audience is treated to fast, sharp blows through various camera angles and quick, seamless transitions. Techniques like slow motion or shaky cam to create effects are almost not used in the film." Douglas Davidson of Elements of Madness rated the film four out of five, praising its personal and relatable nature, writing: "The film begins with the protagonist's profession to help the audience understand her character and fighting style. Then, it showcases her personal values before introducing her daughter. Once the conflict between these two characters is established, the series of action scenes begins." In contrast, Minh Tranh of Tuổi Trẻ Online commented: "Visually impressive in terms of action, but the script of Hai Phượng is so simple that it feels rather superficial. What made Hai Phượng become such a reckless and disillusioned person despite being born into a relatively peaceful family is never explained."
