A snippet of "Dumbo" was first played on February 13, 2025, in a locker room at Daikin Park in Scott's hometown of Houston, Texas, where he was hosting his annual HBCU celebrity softball classic. He debuted the song live alongside "Kick Out", another unreleased song of his from JackBoys 2 at his co-headlining performance at the Coachella 2025 festival on April 12 and then performed both of them again exactly a week later. [2] Scott then performed the two songs and confirmed that they would both appear on the album during his brief pop-up concert in Barcelona, Spain, on May 10, followed by a shortened version of "Dumbo" also being performed six days later during his concert as part of his Circus Maximus Tour in Doha, Qatar. [3] In a ranking of all songs from the album, Billboard 's Michael Saponara saw "Dumbo" as the fifth best song, feeling that the song "finds Scott hitting on another lucid chorus that's also catchy — he's had a penchant for that over the course of his decorated career", "but his punchy bars seemingly play hopscotch across the spacy production", concluding that "for me, I would've preferred a different plan of attack with his verses to go with a plush hook, but there's definitely potential for 'Dumbo' to grow on fans".
