Narrative:
ATC originally cleared the flight to FL230 then amended clearance to maintain FL210. Passing through FL190, crew reset altitude alerter to new altitude. PF did not hear alert go off because of cockpit noise and overshot altitude by 500 ft then returned to FL210. I believe that he was still thinking about going to FL230. Supplemental information from acn 310190: PF had FL230 still on his mind.
