high praise
Effusive positive feedback
High praise is strong commendation or enthusiastic approval, typically from someone whose opinion carries weight.
To say something is high praise suggests the compliment is significant—either because the praiser rarely gives it or because their standards are demanding: Coming from her, that's high praise.
The phrase often appears with verbs like earn, receive, or win.
