Not necessarily the best you have received. What compliment could someone else give you that would make you feel best?

A friend once texted me that she really liked my writing and said "It sounds like you", with "sounds" italicized. It was like she was just focusing on my writing and hadn't even thought through that using "like you" as unambiguously complimentary is a bigger compliment towards me than towards my writing.
