Article level metrics are an evolving area. Measures include the number of citations in social media sites, as well as open peer or crowd-based recommendations or reviews.
The traditional proxy measure of impact, the citation, is applicable to the individual article as well. The number of times a given article is cited by other articles can be tracked in the traditional literature. Several databases offer the feature to find articles within their database that cite a given article.
NOTE: Each source of metrics may show different numbers due to differences in the sources they use.
Use Cited Reference search (click on More at the top of the screen to see this option) to identify the target article, select it, then click Find Citing Articles.

There are aggregating services that report citation numbers from non-traditional, and sometimes traditional, sources.
