The title line is flattering, complimentary -- but repeated , word for word to me 3 months, 6 months, 12 months later, it might be more real to say "that is among the nicest things ever said to me. Thank you" The fourth time it was said to me by same person speaking the same words used here in the title, I thought it pretty phony. Our visits are months apart.
An afternote: "I think that is the nicest thing ever said to me" over a minor compliment, indicates the person is saying they have a lot of deprivation now and always, and are needy.

I agree. Your insight into the neediness of the person saying the comment is wise. If they're telling you that your compliment, whatever it is, is the very nicest thing anyone has ever said to them, what they're really saying is, people haven't shown me much love in the past. Interesting how even stock phrases can reveal what's going on beneath the facade.
