Aspire somehow to get acclaim (6)

I believe the answer is:

praise

'acclaim' is the definition.
(I know that acclaim can be written as praise)

'aspire somehow' is the wordplay.
'somehow' indicates anagramming the letters.
'aspire' anagrammed gives 'PRAISE'.

'to get' is the link.

(Other definitions for praise that I've seen before include "Applaud, commend" , "Speak approvingly of" , "Commendation" , "Honour" , "Extol, laud" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
