I'd guess that few people bother to quote it because Adorno's
relationship to Husserl isn't really a hot philosophical topic
nowadays, and because most of the topics the article deals with were
developed at greater length in Zur Metakritik der Erkenntnistheorie
anyway.

A decent review of the article contents can be found in Wolff, Ernst
(2006) "From phenomenology to critical theory: the genesis of Adorno's
critical theory from his reading of Husserl". Philosophy & Social
Criticism, 32(5): 555-572, available at the author's site at

The original, as Claus said, is reprinted in JSTOR. Browsing through
it gives an idea of how hard Adorno's years at Merton College must
have been. In that unspeakably pedantic clique, Adorno's decidedly
Germanic prose and idiosyncratically convoluted argumentation must
have provoked no little stupor.
