"While lawsuits from various family members of previous lineups have now made it unlikely that a new "Toto" record will ever see the light of day, 'Bridges' comes pretty darn close. As the title suggests, it serves as the middle ground between classic Toto and Lukather's more eclectic solo records ... Whereas his last studio album was an attempt to stretch out and really "play", on this new release, Lukather is exercising a lot od restraint and playing to favor the song. What you don't get in pyrotechnics, you get in pure musicality. There's a ton of feel in the playing".

"Familiarity breeds comfort on Steve Lukather's ninth solo album, especially if you're a Toto fan. The principal members of that band - Lukather, David Paich and Joseph Williams - have said there will never be another studio album under the Toto moniker ... But they have in essence created a cooperative that will keep the sound alive and play nice with each other. That doesn't mean Lukather's 'Bridges' is merely a Toto album by another name; the compact, eight-track set is undeniably filtered through his creative genesis and served by the others, and his guitar is in the spotlight throughout. But the spirit - mostly old-school, highly melodic AOR - remains intact thanks to the participation of Paich and Williams on most tracks, along with Toto cohorts past and present".
