Impression is a success (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sensation

This clue is a double definition.

'impression' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'a success' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

'is' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for sensation that I've seen before include "Feeling produced by stimulation, or dramatic news (9)" , "Feeling; thrilling person or thing" , "Feeling, awareness of stimulation" , "Scandal" , "Physical feeling or perception" .)

I've seen this clue in The Everyman puzzle in The Observer.
