Billboard hailed the song as the best track on After Hours, stating: "Although 'Save Your Tears' is one of the most pop-driven songs on the album, the Weeknd doesn't hold back when it comes to the rather cold nature he usually finds himself adopting when it comes to his lovers. The production remains upbeat and steady the entire time, thanks to work from Max Martin, Oscar Holter, DaHeala, and The Weeknd himself, combining the best of his old content and some newer, more mainstream-driven sounds".{{Cite web|url= https://www.billboard.com/music/rb-hip-hop/the-weeknd-after-hours-every-song-ranked-9339446|title= Every Song Ranked on The Weeknd's 'After Hours': Critic's Picks|website= Billboard Magazine|date= March 20, 2020|access-date= June 3, 2020|archive-date= January 12, 2021|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20210112073747/https://www.billboard.com/amp/articles/columns/hip-hop/9339446/the-weeknd-after-hours-every-song-ranked|url-status= live}} Craig Jenkins of Vulture raved, "The Weeknd perfects the kitschy '80s genre experiment with 'Save Your Tears', a gutting breakup tune gorgeous and simple enough to stand alongside peak '80s pop like the Cars' 'You Might Think' (and slick enough to swipe a bit of melody from Wham!'s 'Everything She Wants' in the chorus).

Slant columnist Seth Wilson observed, "'Save Your Tears' revels in spite, flaunting how over-it Tesfaye is in front of his ex while teasing the possibility of reconciliation.

Mark Richardson from The Wall Street Journal asserted that "'Save Your Tears' includes soaring melodies that provide ample opportunity for Mr. Tesfaye to show off his vocal range, being used on television singing competitions. By design, it is big and broad, less specific lyrically and further from the shadowy persona at the heart of the Weeknd—Mr. Tesfaye often seems downright affable here.

The process commenced as he shaped a general sculpture of the Weeknd's modified visage, then created the prosthetics. Four primary prosthetic components were involved: one for each lip; one for the nose, eyebrows, and forehead; and one for the cheeks and chin. After they were applied to the Weeknd's face, makeup was utilized to make them blend in.{{cite web|url=https://uproxx.com/music/the-weeknd-save-your-tears-look-created-special-effects-prosthetics/|title=Here's How The Weeknd's Extreme 'Save Your Tears' Plastic-Surgery Look Was Created|first=Derrick|last=Rossignol|website=Uproxx|date=January 6, 2021|access-date=February 26, 2021|archive-date=January 6, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210106193642/https://uproxx.com/music/the-weeknd-save-your-tears-look-created-special-effects-prosthetics/|url-status=live}}

Directed by Cliqua, the video sees the Weeknd wearing a diamond-adorned version of his original red-jacketed outfit. The bruises on his face are no longer present, although his character has apparently undergone a bizarre plastic surgery. He performs in a lavish nightclub occupied by formally attired members wearing glittery, full-face masks that pay homage to scenes from Stanley Kubrick's final film, Eyes Wide Shut; his backing band is also wearing masks. He wanders out into the motionless, seated crowd, guzzling one person's champagne and laying his arm on the head of another until he notices a gorgeously brilliant, maskless woman in the audience (played by Bianca Rojas) and guides her onstage. While they initially are dancing joyfully, the camera soon reveals that the Weeknd is hiding a pistol behind his back. The lights go out and when the lights are turned back on, the Weeknd has placed his gun in one of her hands with him pointing the gun at his own head. The woman realizes this and shrieks. The scene concludes with the Weeknd holding the pistol to his own head. As the song finishes, he pulls the trigger, releasing confetti. The assembly applauds apprehensively at first, then enthusiastically.{{cite magazine|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/the-weeknd-save-your-tears-music-video-1109860/|title=Save Your Tears Music Video|first=John|last=Blistein|magazine=Rolling Stone|date=January 5, 2021|accessdate=April 22, 2021|archive-date=May 3, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210503201503/https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/the-weeknd-save-your-tears-music-video-1109860/amp/|url-status=live}}

The remix was a commercial success in the United States, peaking at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 for two weeks. It became the sixth number-one single on the chart for both artists, and made After Hours the first album since Drake's Scorpion in 2018 to have three singles from the same album to reach number one. The remix ranked as the second best-performing song of the year on the year-end Hot 100 chart of 2021. In the Weeknd's native country Canada, it peaked at number one on the Billboard Canadian Hot 100, where it became both the Weeknd and Grande's sixth chart-topper. The remix also topped the Billboard Global 200, marking the Weeknd's first number-one single on the chart and Grande's second.

Additionally, it also topped the Billboard Digital Song Sales chart, becoming Grande's eighth and the Weeknd's sixth chart-topping single. With eight number-one singles each, Grande joined Lady Gaga as a female artist with the fifth-most number-one singles on the Billboard Digital Song Sales Chart.{{cite web|last=McIntyre|first=Hugh|date=May 10, 2021|title=Ariana Grande Ties Lady Gaga For The Fifth-Most No. 1s On The Sales Chart Among Women|url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/hughmcintyre/2021/05/10/ariana-grande-ties-lady-gaga-for-the-fifth-most-no-1s-on-the-sales-chart-among-women/|access-date=May 12, 2021|website=Forbes|archive-date=May 11, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210511065934/https://www.forbes.com/sites/hughmcintyre/2021/05/10/ariana-grande-ties-lady-gaga-for-the-fifth-most-no-1s-on-the-sales-chart-among-women/|url-status=live}}
