Review allaboutjazz.com:
As the years went by, Sassy's voice only seemed to grow stronger, wider, richer and more flexible. Unfortunately, she recorded infrequently in the decade before her death in 1990, a sad fact made all the more tragic because the self-produced Crazy and Mixed Up is one of the finest records of Vaughan's long career. Backed by a superb quartet, Vaughan dives into these eight standards with authority and abandon.
After 1967 Vaughan's voice would darken, taking on greater weight and maturity, acquiring a wider vibrato, and extending its range at both ends--but not without a pronounced falsetto break and forced upper register that turns off some listeners. Still, all fans of jazz singing should check out her mind-boggling scat performance on “Autumn Leaves” (Crazy and Mixed Up, Pablo, 1982). Vaughan was at her best when extemporaneously recomposing standards into fresh melodies that she made her own. As After Hours at the London House demonstrates, her transformation of a familiar song can readily become the listener's new standard as well.

Review Scott Yanow, AMG:
Sarah Vaughan had complete control over the production of this album, Crazy and Mixed Up (which would be her last small-group recording) and, even if the results are not all that unique, her voice is often in near-miraculous form. With fine backup work from pianist Roland Hanna, guitarist Joe Pass, bassist Andy Simpkins and drummer Harold Jones, Sassy sounds in prime form, on such songs as "I Didn't Know What Time It Was," "Autumn Leaves," "The Island" and "You Are Too Beautiful." It is hard to believe, listening to her still-powerful voice on this CD reissue, that she had already been a recording artist for 48 years.
