It peaked at No. 20 on the ARIA Albums Chart.
The single, "Karma (What Goes Around)", samples elements of Hot Chocolate's "Brother Louie" and was featured on a "World Instruments" segment of ''John Safran's Music Jamboree''. The track "Battlemaster" contains a widely used line from the hip hop film, ''Beat Street''.
==Reception== AllMusic's Jody Macgregor rated it at three-and-a-half stars and explained "the group's guitarist Kemstar lays down a rock-solid rock riff. That unusual addition, a live rock guitarist in a hip-hop group, goes a long way towards individualizing the 1200 Techniques sound, adding an odd and sometimes surprisingly funky layer. Another thing that makes them unique is their unabashed Australian-ness."<ref name="Macgregor">{{cite web | url = https://www.allmusic.com/album/choose-one-mw0000499657 | title = ''Choose One'' – 1200 Techniques| last = Macgregor | first = Jody | publisher = AllMusic| accessdate = 17 October 2017 }}</ref>
