Excessive praise (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

flattery

'excessive praise' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for flattery that I've seen before include "Soft soap" , "phony praise" , "Obsequious praise" , "''Imitation is the sincerest form of . . . . . . . .'' (8)" , "sugar?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph and the LA Times.
