Yes, that's critical. We've used entire stand-ups to discuss how to make stand-ups more effective. Finding a way that makes it quality time for the team is ideal. The goal is for everybody to be able to work and communicate better together.
My favorite version is one in which we just went through the daily Merge/Pull Requests in the system and let that be the check in. It set aside regular time for small code reviews and let everybody showcase things clearly, with room to ask people to dive in for a deeper review right then and there.
IMO it was much more effective than the normal standup ritual.
