“A notable contribution to the British quartet repertoire… well worth getting to know. All I can do is to recommend these discs very strongly. The performances seem excellent as is the recording quality, and the booklet notes are splendid.” – Alexander Leonard (Musical Opinion) - five stars awarded.

“The playing is excellent and enthusiastic. All four of John Ramsay's String Quartets are worthy examples of the genre and undoubtedly deserve a place in the repertoire. They form an impressive cycle.” – John France (MusicWeb)
