Get a copy of Steve McConnells book "Code Complete 2" and work through it. Not the cheapest book but it's weight worth in gold.

First ask the one telling you this why it isn't of good quality. If this is the case, surely the one telling you this can help you on the way?

Seriously. Without constructive criticism, you can hardly hope to improve.
Have you looked at your co-workers code? Is there someone your critic holds up as an example? Is your critic a developer or a manager with development experience, or is it someone who is just nitpicking?

It was conveyed to me by my Manager that some other senior person gave feedback like code quality is not meeting the high expectations

Still, you should ask you manager what you can do to improve it. If s/he says s/he doesn't know, you should ask him/her how s/he thinks you can improve without knowing what you did wrong.
