Parts of the film were also previewed in August 2024 during D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event. Prior to the film's premiere on Disney+, a near-completed cut of the documentary was shown on October 12, 2024 at the Tarrytown Music Hall in Tarrytown, New York as a surprise addition to the Sleepy Hollow International Film Festival, where D23 held a screening of The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad earlier in the day.

In March 2025, it was announced the film would be released on April 7, 2025, on Disney+ to coincide with the 30th anniversary of A Goofy Movie.

Ross Bonaime of Collider gave the film a score of 8 out of 10, writing, "A Goofy Movie remains an understated film in the Disney animated film canon, and Not Just a Goof wonderfully reminds us why this is a film that deserves far more attention than it ever received. While fans will clearly get the most out of this deep dive into this '90s favorite, its structure of a David trying to succeed in a studio of Goliaths is worth it even for non-fans. Not Just a Goof gives this often-forgotten gem of Disney the love and respect it deserves after all these years."{{cite web|url=https://collider.com/not-just-a-goof-a-goofy-movie-documentary-review/|title=‘Not Just a Goof’ Review: Finally, a Documentary That Proves What I’ve Always Said About ‘A Goofy Movie’|website=Collider|first=Ross|last=Bonaime|date=April 7, 2025|access-date=April 8, 2025}}

Brian Orndorf of Blu-ray.com also gave the film a score of 8 out of 10 and wrote, "Not Just a Goof is enlightening and charming, as directors Eric Kimelton and Christopher Ninness find their way into the production story, armed with wonderful footage of the creative process and access to cast and crew, making for an engrossing sit."{{cite web|url=https://www.blu-ray.com/Not-Just-a-Goof/1972341/#Review|title=Not Just a Goof Review|first=Brian|last=Orndorf|website=Blu-ray.com|date=April 9, 2025|access-date=April 9, 2025}}
