Critical reception

The Austin Chronicle called the album "a sleazy, raucous, brash, and unapologetically paint-by-numbers take on AC/DC." ^[6] AllMusic wrote that "the potential cheese is made up for by [Gluecifer's] high-energy, guitar-based roots of when 'sex and drugs' were synonymous with the rock star lifestyle." ^[1] Exclaim! wrote that "if you're too young to remember bands like Junkyard, and just want to hear some basic hard rock with no postmodern twists or surprises, then Tender is the Savage could be your new car cruisin', joint smokin' record of choice." ^[7] CMJ New Music Monthly called it a "perfect album." ^[8]
