AllMusic[3]
All About Jazz[4]

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".[3] 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."[4]

Personnel
gollark: Actually, it's an autocracy.
gollark: Also issues with local information.
gollark: The downside is just that you generally can't trust anyone to do it, but obviously I would be the correct world dictator.
gollark: Central allocation would have a lot of advantages, since we could avoid a lot of the negative-sum competitive things like advertising, duplication of effort in R&D, and most lawyers.
gollark: Who says I'm a pizza? And sentient?
