international acclaim

Worldwide recognition earned

International acclaim is widespread praise or recognition from across the globe, typically for artistic, scientific, or athletic achievement.

The phrase implies that admiration has crossed cultural and national boundaries: Her novel received international acclaim.

It often appears in promotional contexts—book jackets, film posters, artist biographies—sometimes loosely applied.
