Yes, as a verb in standard English, hail explicitly means to enthusiastically praise, acclaim, or salute a person, work of art, or achievement publicly and with high regard. For example, literary critics and film audiences frequently hail an innovative cinematic release as an absolute masterpiece. This specific verbal definition carries a tone of deep respect and public recognition, distinguishing it completely from the homonymous noun used to describe frozen ice pellets falling from severe thunderstorm clouds.
