Most reveiws are based on personal experience of the reviewers.
Most longs legs (after the advertising dies down) are based on personal experince based on word of mouth that is based on personal experience.
So, yes, at least indirectly, sales and scores do reflect quality. Otherwise, games that ranked <30 on metacritic would typically sell as well as games that rank >70 if either of those were not related to quality, much less both. It's debatable how much they reflect quality, but to deny a corelation is to be a bit naive.
