Really great! And for what it's worth, I think that you have the right read on the good intent behind the praise that he gave you in your last interaction. However, if he delivered it as you said, then there's some fault on his side, too. I feel that, if you want to truly give a compliment or advice (or both at once), it's in large part your responsibility to meet the recipient where they can receive it correctly, otherwise what's the point.
