    If you are responding to an unsolicited compliment, it is appropriate to reply with a simple, “Thank you” (not “Thank you for your kind words”). A good practice is to avoid responding to compliments in an email that is not related to your project. e.g.you could respond to someone who tells you that you look tired by saying, “Thank you for your kind words. I am very tired today.”
