Gave a glowing review (5)
I believe the answer is:
raved
'gave a glowing review' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for raved that I've seen before include "spoke with great enthusiasm" , "gave a good review" , "Went into raptures" , "Was flipping" , "Talked wildly" .)
