In benzaldehyde, due to resonance, the benzene ring shows electron releasing tendency which decreases the polarity of carbonyl group,eventually decreasing the reactivity of it towards nucleophilic addition. However, in ketones the polarity of the carbonyl group is increased by electron releasing tendency of two alkyl groups. Why?
