Another Page is Christopher Cross's second studio album, recorded in 1982 and released in early 1983. It was not as commercially successful as its predecessor (it was certified Gold by the RIAA, but only after his self-titled debut album had already been certified Platinum by the time of the release of Another Page). "All Right", the first single from the album, reached #12 on the Billboard Hot 100. It was the #1 hit on the Canadian magazine RPM. The second single, "No Time for Talk" peaked at #33. The third single, "Think of Laura" reached #9 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #1 on the Adult Contemporary. Making it the final single to be top 10 hit. The album reached number 1 in Japan in 1983.^[2]

"Arthur's Theme (Best That You Can Do)" appeared as a bonus track on the cassette and later CD releases of the album.

An instrumental version of "No Time for Talk" appeared in the movie American Anthem, which was composed by the song's co-author and producer of Another Page, Michael Omartian.

In his retrospective review, William Ruhlmann of AllMusic noted that Another Page closely followed the musical style of Christopher Cross's debut album, which had been a major commercial and critical success. The debut sold over five million copies, produced four Top 40 singles—including the number-one hit "Sailing"—and earned Cross five Grammy Awards, including Album of the Year, Record of the Year, Song of the Year (both for "Sailing"), and Best New Artist. Ruhlmann wrote that Another Page featured similarly smooth pop arrangements and romantic lyrics delivered in Cross's gentle, Brian Wilson-like tenor. Although the album lacked the emotional depth or edge of rock music, he stated that it was still commercially successful, producing two Top 40 hits—All Right and No Time for Talk—and earning a gold certification. Nearly a year after its release, the album gained renewed attention when the ballad Think of Laura was featured on the television soap opera General Hospital, leading to the song becoming a Top 10 hit.
