Released in 1974, it was his second solo album and is widely recognized as his most successful and arguably his most definitive work. The album was named after Bridge of Sighs, a famed bridge in Venice, Italy and was produced by organist Matthew Fisher, formerly Trower's bandmate in Procol Harum.

Two of the most prominent songs on the album include 'Bridge of Sighs' and 'Too Rolling Stoned'. Both were later included in Trower’s live shows and have become classics to his fans.
Upon its release, "Bridge of Sighs" reached number 7 on the UK Albums Chart and number 5 on the Billboard 200 in the US. The album was later certified Gold by the RIAA in 1974, proving its commercial success.
