It was an immediate commercial and critical success—and remains her most successful album. Released in January 1974, it infuses her folk rock style, which she developed throughout her previous five albums, with jazz inflections. It reached No. 2 in the United States and No. 1 in Canada and eventually received a Double Platinum certification by the RIAA, the highest of Mitchell's career. It also reached the Top 20 in the UK and was voted the best album of the year for 1974 in The
Page One (Joe Henderson album) effort". According to "All About Jazz", "Page One", which introduced the Jazz standard "Blue Bossa", is still one of Henderson's "most critically acclaimed albums". "PopMatters", by contrast, prefers later works, indicating in one review that "Page One" "has the careful feel of a leader’s first session". The album was identified by Scott Yanow in his Allmusic essay "Hard Bop" as one of the 17 Essential Hard Bop Recordings. The album was released on CD in 1988 by Blue Note and has been in print consistently since. All compositions by Joe Henderson except where noted. Production Page One (Joe Henderson album)
