Colton of The Daily Rotation wrote, "Dustin Hoffman’s directorial debut is the semi-romantic crowd pleaser Quartet starring Maggie Smith, Billy Connolly, Tom Courtenay, Pauline Collins, and Michael Gambon. The film had its world premiere at this year’s Toronto International Film Festival and is now making the festival rounds, including the 2012 Milwaukee Film Festival, before it’s limited release later this year. Quartet brings together Oscar-nominated actors for a light and slightly romantic film with a thin narrative. It’s destined to play well for older audiences but it may be too fluffy to gain serious attention during the upcoming award season."
