Usually when you don't know how to respond to a compliment, they just want you to smile and say thank you. Criticism is great, but a couple months of no good news can be draining, so compliments are nice too.

I think that constructive criticism in general is something that's always on the decline, but can only say that from what I've personally viewed. But you could add that even though you can't take a compliment, this has allowed you to not be too shy to vocalise your own constructive feedback.
