In his essay, McFarlane suggested that Scott's photographs "are unique within Australian photography. The intimacies he records in the lives of his subjects show that, far from being another purist disciple of Cartier-Bresson's worthy maxim of the decisive moment, Roger Scott introduces a new kind of instant in Australian documentary photography - the irrevocable moment." Scott's work was included in Candid Camera: Australian Photography 1950s–1970s at the Art Gallery of South Australia (2010).
