What’s the proper way for jQuery selecting a object when the name states a subfield in an array?

I spontanously tried:

$('select[name=field[subfield]]').change(function(){
  alert('houston we have contact');
});

The DOM object is:

<select name="field[subfield]">
  <option>..</option>
  <option>..</option>
  <option>..</option>
</select>

Try adding quotes:

$('select[name="field[subfield]"]').change(function(){
  alert('houston we have contact');
});
