According to different situation, you have many choices.
when you face a stranger, you'd better say: 过奖了。
but if the person who compliments you is your buddy, you can feel free to respond:呵呵，凑合。
You must pay special attention when you receive compliments from the senior or your boss,
I suggest you reply:还要继续努力。
In a word, you can't use one expression to handle various situation. Flexible and appropriate responses
can be accumulated in daily life!

To add,you could also say:
多谢美言。
承蒙夸奖。
贻笑大方。
These expressions which I have written are more polite and literary,usually seen in letters,we call them 谦辞。
