It peaked at No.&nbsp;20 on the [ARIA Albums Chart](/source/ARIA_Charts).

The single, "[Karma (What Goes Around)](/source/Karma_(What_Goes_Around))", samples elements of Hot Chocolate's "[Brother Louie](/source/Brother_Louie_(Hot_Chocolate_song))" and was featured on a "World Instruments" segment of ''[John Safran's Music Jamboree](/source/John_Safran's_Music_Jamboree)''. The track "Battlemaster" contains a widely used line from the hip hop film, ''[Beat Street](/source/Beat_Street)''.

==Reception==
[AllMusic](/source/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>
