Kozlovsky's voice was distinguished for its beautiful high register and rich palette of shadings. He sang more than 50 operatic roles, and was especially famous as Lensky in Eugene Onegin, Berendey in The Snow Maiden, Levko in May Night, the Indian Guest in Sadko, Vladimir in Prince Igor, Nero in the opera by Rubinstein, Dubrovsky in the opera by Napravnik, and so on. He also was outstanding in the western repertoire: Faust (Gounod), Werther, Rigoletto, Barber of Seville, Lohengrin, Orfeo ed Euridice, La traviata, La bohème, and so on.
Asteroid No. 4944 was named Kozlovskij in 1987 in honor of Ivan Kozlovsky's career; his famous rival Sergey Lemeshev received the same honor upon his death in 1978.
