Great to talk to you.

Thank you, great to talk to you.

What part of speech is "great" in the sentence above?

In my opinion it is an adverb.

Well, it's not a proper sentence. The complete sentence with a subject and verb is: It was great to talk to you. This is a "dummy it" sentence.

This is a "dummy it" sentence. We have to write it with a concrete subject, like this:

The experience that I had when talking with you was great.

Now you can see clearly that "great" describes "the experience."
