In Knowledge, Reason, and Taste, renowned Kant scholar Paul Guyer challenges both of these views.

Reviews for Knowledge, Reason, and Taste: Kant´s Response to Hume
In detail, and with great clarity and fairness, Guyer compares [Kant's and Hume's] respective treatments of scepticism, of the major concepts of causation, objects, and the self, of practical philosophy and of the philosophy of taste. Guyer shows that the match is by no means as one-sided as the usual view maintains.
