"Page One" is the debut release by American jazz tenor saxophonist Joe Henderson. All Music describes the album as a "particularly strong and historic effort". [allmusicguide |id=10:jxfixq9gldae] According to "All About Jazz", "Page One", which introduced the Jazz standard "Blue Bossa", is still one of Henderson's "most critically acclaimed albums". [ [http://www.allaboutjazz.com/php/musician.php?id=7574 Joe Henderson] "All About Jazz" Accessed September 29 2007.] See also Beaudreau, James. (September 11 2002) [http://www.popmatters.com/music/reviews/h/hendersonjoe-inner.shtml Joe Henderson: Inner Urge] Pop Matters. Accessed September 30 2007] . 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 first re-released on CD in 1988 by Blue Note and has been in production consistently since.
