Allmusic 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".[4]
