reviewer Alex Henderson stated: "Payne was 73 when he recorded ''Scotch and Milk'', a fine hard bop date ... Payne's chops are in top shape on this 1996 date, and the veteran saxman plays with a lot of passion ... Nothing groundbreaking takes places on ''Scotch and Milk''; most of the material could have been recorded for Blue Note in the 1950s or 1960s instead of 1996. ''Scotch and Milk'' is a perfect example of a veteran improviser excelling by sticking with what he does best".
