Gather quietly at lift and judge again (10)

I believe the answer is:

reappraise

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'judge again' is the definition.
('appraise' is an answer for 'judge' so perhaps 'reappraise' is OK for 'judge again')

'gather quietly at lift' is the wordplay.
'gather quietly' becomes 'reap' (reaping is a kind of gathering. I am not sure about the 'quietly' bit.).
'at' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'lift' becomes 'praise' (nouns).
'reap'+'praise'='REAPPRAISE'

'and' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for reappraise that I've seen is " From judge again".)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
