It originally received a limited run on International DeeJay Gigolo Records, and contained "The 15th", a cover of a Wire song from their album 154.

A limited edition pressing from 2003 also included a DVD with several remixes, a documentary, as well as four videos—"Sweetness", "The 15th" and two versions of "Emerge".

#1 was included among a group of 15 DualDisc releases that were test marketed in just two cities: Boston and Seattle.

The DualDisc release was never reissued after the very limited test market run.

The album holds a score of 70 out of 100 on the review aggregator website Metacritic.
