"Love, love, love!" and the like

RAVES

Think of enthusiastic praise often heard at concerts or in glowing reviews, especially when someone can't stop gushing.

This clue plays on the double meaning of "raves." On the surface, it mimics the enthusiastic exclamations someone might shout at a lively party or concert—like "Love, love, love!"—which fits the energy of a rave. But it’s also hinting at the word itself, since "raves" are high-energy dance parties where people often express that kind of excitement. The clue cleverly uses the sound of celebration to point directly to the answer.
