Switched frequency to new york departure 128.55. Controller said 'climb and maintain 11000 ft, turn right heading XXX degrees.' PNF: 'climb 11000 ft, say again heading.' controller: 'climb and maintain 11000 ft, turn right heading 280 degrees.' PNF: 'climb 11000 ft, right 280 degrees.' proceeded to initiate climb and increase speed. At approximately 2200 ft, B727 on approach to ewr, in descent, crossed our flight path too close for comfort. Controller: 'what are you doing? I told you to maintain 1300 ft.' PNF: 'sir, you told us to climb to 11000 ft. I read 11000 ft back to you, clearly, 2 times.' PNF: 'so you want us to descend to 1300 ft?' controller: no, you may as well climb now. Climb and maintain 10000 ft.' PNF: 'climb 10000 ft.' corrective action was slight due to situation. A momentary leveloff to ensure we would not climb into the B727.
