Enthusiastic applause (often standing?) (7)

I believe the answer is:

ovation

(Other definitions for ovation that I've seen before include "Sustained applause (may be standing)" , "Prolonged applause" , "Applause, acclaim" , "Sustained show of applause" , "Applause from an audience" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
