During the 1950s, Sarah Vaughan wowed the public with her lush, rich vocals, especially in ballad settings. She is backed by a string section for most of this collection of ballads recorded in Paris with conductor/arranger Quincy Jones. This 1958 recording is notable as it is one of the first albums to feature Erroll Garner's mega-hit "Misty" with Johnny Burke's brand new lyrics; this version is notable for its simplicity and lack of gimmicky vocal effects. Many of the tracks add a rhythm section (usually pianist Ronnell Bright, bassist Richard Davis, and drummer Kenny Clarke, though other drummers also took part), along with a saxophone quartet for backgrounds, with tenor saxophonist Zoot Sims providing occasional brief solos or counterpoint, though the saxophone credits in the booklet don't match up very well with the music. Vaughan is in top form throughout the disc; only the use of excessive reverb on the closing to "Gone with the Wind" dates these magical sessions. Ken Dryden, AMG

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.
