Narrative:
On departure from sjc following the loope 9 SID, we had been cleared to 12000 ft and to the VOR. The SID specified to cross the VOR at 12000 ft. 3 mi from the VOR inbound, we were cleared to FL230 and the copilot set FL230 in the altitude alerter. We crossed the VOR climbing through 14000 ft when the controller asked us to verify altitude, and commented that we should have crossed at 12000 ft. We both believed the last clearance to FL230 had canceled the 12000 ft crossing restr.
