AllMusic[2]
All About Jazz[3]

AllMusic awarded the album 4 stars with its review by Ken Dryden stating, "Since this was a working band for some time prior to the making of Quartet, the musicians were already of one mind, rather than being thrown together and trying to make something out of brand new, unfamiliar charts. ...The interplay between the four men and the intensity of their individual solos leave no doubt that this quartet has earned a return trip to the studio for a follow-up session".[2] All About Jazz's John Kelman said "Quartet may be a mainstream record, but it's a wholly modernistic one where Hart's group approaches the middle from a decidedly left-of-center point of view."[3]
