rave reviews

Enthusiastic critical praise

Rave reviews are enthusiastically positive critical assessments, especially of performances, books, or restaurants.

The rave suggests wild, unrestrained praise rather than measured approval: The film opened to rave reviews.

A single assessment is a rave review; collectively, something gets rave reviews or receives raves.
