The editors of AllMusic awarded the album 4 stars, and reviewer Michael G. Nastos stated: "The combination of Rouse and Quinichette was a very satisfactory coupling of two talented and promising post-swing to bop individualists, who played to all of their strengths and differences on this worthy -- and now legendary -- session". [3]
A reviewer for Billboard called the album a "smart, stimulating jazz package," featuring "good all-star rhythm backing." They commented: "Eye-catching cover conveys the idea, and tenor fanciers will plunge." [5]

Moods is the 1954 debut album by American jazz saxophonist Paul Quinichette featuring compositions and arrangements by Quincy Jones released on the EmArcy label. The tracks were recorded on two session dates in November 1954 with two different line-ups, an (almost) regular jazz sextet with flutist Sam Most as second horn player and two guitarists. The second session featured an Afro-Cuban combo with Herbie Mann on flute and also on tenor saxophone and Latin percussion instead of a drum set. The difference between the two sessions was preserved in splitting the album with the later recorded Latin jazz session on the LP's A-side, the more straight ahead approach on the other.
