It depends on the situation, of course. Some folks get swamped with email, contending with more than 40 or 50 messages in a single day. If the recipient is a busy person, sometimes it's best not to clutter their inbox.
If the situation warrants an acknowledgment, however, yours is fine, although I might suggest:
This is minor and subtle, but I think my version is thanking the person for their promptness, while yours is thanking them for their reply. They already know they've replied, so I think my wording has a little more value to the recipient – but that's a debatable point, given that the wordings are so similar.
