Background and release

On March 5, 2024, SM Entertainment announced that NCT Dream would be releasing their sixth EP, Dreamscape on March 25, releasing a teaser image. On March 24, a music video teaser for the lead single, "Smoothie" was released on the SMTOWN YouTube channel. Between March 11 and 15, five short movie-like trailers, titled "Scape Film" were released.
A music video for "Smoothie" was also released on March 25, featuring band members playing a real-life version of Fruit Ninja. On the same day, the band held a press event in Seoul for the album.
In support of the EP, the band embarked on "The Dream Show 3: Dream()scape" world tour in May.

Critical reception

Dreamscape received mixed reviews from critics. NME's Tássia Assis gave the EP three stars out of five, criticizing "Smoothie" as being "a predictable, borderline-exasperating track", while "the rest of the album is much more creative, cohesive and enjoyable". Cristina Jaleru of the Associated Press wrote that the EP "comes in and out of focus through a combination of tempo changes, innovative sounds and catchy yet somehow forgettable hooks".
