The listener will find two different dimensions of achievement on this album. The main one gives the music its fresh swinging mood, the other will counterbalance it by those balladic and melancholy tracks.  Since his first album Ruzicka continues his career of the jazz saxophonist with some notable success. Brooklyn Moods is an album which will be definitely well received by jazz fans.
(Dusan Pouzar)

Na této desce posluchač najde dvě stěžejní roviny. Hlavní rozměr desce dávají svižné skladby ve swingově se nesoucím tónu, které jsou pak doplněny rovinou melancholických a spíše baladických písní. Karel Růžička tak navázal na svoji předchozí desku a pokračuje tak ve výtečně nasměrované kariéře jazzového saxofonisty. Brooklyn Moods je deskou, která potěší nejednoho posluchače.
