Supercritical wing at low speed

I've done a few searches on Supercritical wings, and all the talk is their behaviour at high speed, the reason they were designed. But what are their low speed characteristics. Does this high speed design result in quite high stall speeds and, therefore approach and landing speeds as it does with conventional sweep, or is the problem compounded?

Thanks
